Directions
1. Cook bacon to desired doneness (slightly crispy gives the salad a crunch!) and put aside for later.
2. Put onion, minced garlic clove, sliced and quartered yellow squash, water, salt and pepper in a skillet with O' So Good Olive Oil’s Tuscan Herb Olive Oil and cook on medium heat until soft and turning golden and water has evaporated. Transfer to a plate for later.
3. Next get a fresh skillet and add walnuts, almonds, sugar, and butter and cook on medium heat stirring frequently so it doesn’t burn. Cook for around 5 minutes or until all sugar is melted and nuts are coated. Transfer immediately to parchment and separate the nuts into small clusters then allow to cool 5-7 minutes while you prep the rest of the salad.
4. Crush the bacon into bits and slice the red pears into bite sizes.
5. Place salad spring mix into a bowl and layer with crushed bacon bits, onion/garlic/yellow squash mixture, candied nuts, sliced pears, and parmesan cheese.
6. Drizzle O’ So Good Olive Oil’s Pear Balsamic Vinegar over top according to liking and enjoy!
