Notes

For impeccably crisp bacon, consider baking it on a wire rack over a sheet pan at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes. This method ensures even cooking and less mess. Achieving perfectly hard-boiled eggs is key; plunge them into an ice bath immediately after cooking to stop the process and make them easier to peel. For a more vibrant salad, wash and dry your lettuce thoroughly. While Ranch dressing is classic, a homemade vinaigrette or a blue cheese dressing can elevate the flavor profile. Arrange ingredients thoughtfully in distinct rows for a visually appealing presentation, emphasizing the contrasting colors and textures of each component.
