1
Prepare the Greens
In a large salad bowl, add the mixed greens as the base for your salad.
2
Chop the Vegetables
Slice the cucumber into thin rounds, chop the tomatoes into bite-sized pieces, and thinly slice the red onion. Add all these vegetables to the bowl with the mixed greens.

3
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. This should take about 8-10 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
4
Crumble the Bacon
Once the bacon has cooled slightly, crumble it into small pieces and set aside.

5
Add Toppings
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon, cheese, and croutons over the mixed greens and vegetables in the salad bowl.
6
Dress the Salad
Drizzle your dressing of choice over the salad. Start with a small amount and add more to taste, tossing the salad gently to combine all the ingredients.

7
Serve Immediately
Serve the salad immediately as a fresh starter or side dish.
