Dressing Preparation
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey until well-blended. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Set the dressing aside to let the flavors meld.
Cooking Bacon and Eggs
- In a skillet over medium heat, fry the bacon until crispy and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain and crumble once cooled.
- Place the eggs in boiling water and cook for 9-10 minutes; cool under cold running water, peel, and chop.
Salad Assembly
- In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped iceberg lettuce, baby spinach, and radicchio. Add sliced red onions, diced celery, sliced mushrooms, and halved cherry tomatoes. Toss together until well mixed.
- Incorporate crumbled blue cheese, chopped hard-boiled eggs, and crispy bacon. Drizzle half of the dressing over the salad and toss gently.
Chill and Serve
- Refrigerate the salad for about 10 minutes to enhance the flavors.
- Garnish with extra fresh basil and a sprinkle of blue cheese before serving.
Notes
Chop ingredients finely for better texture. Store salad and dressing separately and combine just before serving. Consume leftovers within 2 days for best quality.
