The Dressing:
Ingredients:
- Dijon Mustard: 2 tablespoons

- Lemon Juice: 3 tablespoons
- Olive Oil: 1/2 cup
Let’s Get Cooking:
Step 1: Prepare the Honey Dijon Dressing
In a small bowl, combine Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, and olive oil. Whisk the ingredients together until you have a emulsified, smooth dressing. Set it aside.
Step 2: Prep the Salad Ingredients
Wash and tear the green leaf lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Pit and slice the peaches. Finely slice the green onions and thinly slice the bell pepper. If the bacon bits aren’t ready, cook them until they’re nice and crisp.
Step 3: Assemble the Salad
In a large salad bowl, combine the torn green leaf lettuce, sliced peaches, green onions, and bell pepper. Toss gently to mix the ingredients.
Step 4: Add the Bacon Bits
Sprinkle the crispy bacon bits over the salad for that savory crunch and rich flavor. If you’re opting for more protein, add your fresh fish or chicken on top as well.
Step 5: Drizzle the Dressing
Just before serving, drizzle the Honey Dijon dressing over the salad. Toss again gently to ensure the dressing coats the ingredients evenly.
