  1. CRISPY BACON

    Place a pan over medium-high heat. When hot, fry the bacon until browned and crispy, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan, drain on paper towel, and roughly chop.

  2. PLUMP PEAS

    Boil the kettle. Submerge the peas in boiling water until plump, 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  3. CRUNCHY CROUTONS

    Toss the Baguette chunks in a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Return the pan, wiped down, to medium heat. When hot, toast the bread until crispy, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel. Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 6-8 minutes (shifting halfway).

  4. LOADED SALAD

    To a salad bowl, add the peas, the Carrot, the Cucumber, the bacon, the parsley, ½ the croutons, and the creamy mayo. Mix to combine and season.
