1
Prepare the Bacon
Cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
2
Prepare the Hard-Boiled Eggs
Place the eggs in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 12 minutes, then cool in ice water before peeling.
3
Prepare the Dressing
In a bowl, whisk together buttermilk, chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, chives, and dill), salt, and pepper to taste. Set aside.
4
Assemble the Salad
In a large bowl, tear the little gem lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Add chopped tomato, sliced hard-boiled eggs, crispy bacon (broken into pieces), pickled red onion, and bread crumbs.
5
Dress the Salad
Drizzle the buttermilk herb dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
