Serves: 4

Time: 15 minutes (10 minutes bacon time, 5 minutes assembly time)

Watercress has a very fresh, almost peppery flavor that contrasts beautifully with salty bacon, cool cucumbers, and sweet blueberries. It’s a great summertime salad that doesn’t need any dressing except a little olive oil mixed with fresh lime juice. Serve with a protein like fish or steak.

Ingredients:

8-ounces turkey bacon

7-ounces watercress

20 fresh blueberries

2 peeled and diced cucumbers

2 tablespoons olive oil ½ lime

Directions:

1.Cook your bacon on the stovetop until crispy and brown.

2.Put on a plate lined with a paper towel, and fold over to absorb excess grease.

3.Assemble your salads with the watercress, cucumbers, and blueberries.

4.To make your dressing, juice the lime and slowly pour in olive oil, whisking quickly.

5.Crumble bacon.

6.Pour dressing over salads and top with bacon bits!
