I made this salad for lunch today and it was so refreshing and delicious! The arugula was crisp and peppery, the bacon was salty and crispy, the dates were sweet and chewy, the almonds added a nice crunch, and the parmesan cheese was nutty and sharp.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover bacon. I also added some chopped avocado for extra creaminess. The dressing was very good, but I added a little extra lemon juice to taste. I will definitely be making this salad again.
