    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.

Assemble the Salad

  1. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the chopped bacon to the salad bowl with the vegetables. Drizzle the bleu cheese dressing over the top.

  2. 8

    Toss the Salad
