Who here loves a good salad? I certainly do. Especially ones that can be made and enjoyed as a side to a main dish or used as the main dish itself. Like this Cashew Salad With Poppy Seed Dressing.

Lunch, supper it is all good. Really good.

A great kitchen hack involving bacon

This salad can be made ahead of time. If you have company coming over, you can cook the bacon early in the day or even the night before. Then pop the bacon in the fridge until ready to use.

My favorite kitchen hack of all time is baking the bacon in the oven. No more greasy stove tops. Plus, you can put the bacon in the oven and walk away until it is done. Love it!

How to make cashew salad with poppy seed dressing

To put together the salad, you need mozzarella cheese, cooked bacon, red leaf lettuce, sliced grapes and cashews.

The dressing was a mixture of oil, sugar, red wine vinegar, poppy seeds, salt and ground mustard. Simply mix all the dressing ingredients in a blender and pour over the salad. If you are making this salad to serve later, wait to pour the dressing on the salad until right before serving. You can store the salad dressing in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Pair this salad with 3 ingredient slow cooker shredded roast beef or a quick frozen pizza! Either way, it tastes great and goes with just about any meal.
