Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of flavors! (Time to savor!)
For a homemade raspberry vinaigrette, whisk together 1/4 cup raspberry vinegar, 1/2 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and salt and pepper to taste.
If using fresh bacon, cook the bacon until crispy, then drain on paper towels and crumble. This adds a richer, smokier flavor to the salad.
To prevent the onion from being too strong, soak the sliced onion in ice water for 10 minutes before adding it to the salad. This will mellow out its flavor.
Feel free to add other toppings to the salad, such as toasted almonds, walnuts, or pecans.
For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and add toasted sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds for a nutty crunch.
