There’s no need for a heavy dressing with these greens thanks to the smoky flavor of turkey bacon. Peas and scallions add nice texture and flavor to this tasty salad. Mixing the ingredients for the vinaigrette in the same skillet that you cook the bacon in makes cleanup for this recipe much easier. And because you mix the ingredients for the vinaigrette in the same skillet that you cook the bacon in, you want to be certain not to scorch the pan by cooking it at too high of a temperature.
