Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400F.
Place the bacon on a foil-lined baking sheet (for easy clean up). Cook until crispy, about 18 minutes. Transfer to paper towels before chopping.
While the bacon cooks, add the baby lettuce mix, beets, quinoa, parmesan cheese, pear and dates to a large bowl.
When the bacon has slightly cooled, crumble it and add to the salad.
Dress with the balsamic vinaigrette. Enjoy!
