Step 6: Fold in the Savory Crunch: Scatter your crispy bacon crumbles over the coated salad, reserving a small handful to use as a visual garnish later. Gently fold the bacon into the matrix until just incorporated.
Step 7: The Flavor Meld Chill: Cover the bowl securely with plastic wrap and slide it into the refrigerator for at least 30 / minutes before serving.

Top with your reserved bacon crumbles right before serving cold!
