About

The Cockle and Bacon Salad is a refreshing and satisfying dish that combines the delicate flavors of seafood with the richness of crispy bacon. It's a perfect blend of land and sea, served on a bed of fresh greens to add that crisp, healthy crunch. This dish typically uses shelled cockles that are gently cooked and then mixed with crispy, pan-fried bacon pieces. The salad is tossed with a light vinaigrette to enhance the natural flavors without overpowering them. A combination of lettuce, arugula, or mixed greens can be used as a base. Some variations may include cherry tomatoes, cucumber, or a sprinkle of herbs for added freshness. It's a versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a light lunch, a starter, or even a side dish to complement a main course.
