BACON SALAD – A SYMPHONY BETWEEN SALTY TASTE AND FRESHNESS
-
There are dishes that don’t need to be sophisticated or ostentatious, but just one taste makes us remember them forever. Bacon Salad – a salad mixed with bacon, is one such dish. At Coraggio, it is not just an appetizer, but a delicate opening greeting, leading diners into the world of Italian cuisine – where every ingredient has its own “voice”.
When bacon meets greens
What makes Bacon Salad attractive lies in the perfect contrast between two elements: the salty, fatty and crunchy taste of bacon and the freshness and lightness of vegetables. A piece of golden brown, crispy bacon, combined with young lettuce leaves, juicy cherry tomatoes, cool cucumber slices, a little grated Parmesan cheese and a few drops of light sour sauce – all blend to create a delicate symphony of taste.
It is no coincidence that this dish has become a favorite choice in European restaurants. Bacon Salad brings a pleasant feeling at first sight: the green of the vegetables, the red of the tomatoes, the golden brown of the bacon and the milky white of the cheese – a bright, vibrant culinary palette.
A story of balance
Modern cuisine always talks about “balance” – between flavor and taste, between richness and elegance. Bacon Salad is the clearest demonstration of that philosophy.
Bacon brings a unique umami taste, fatty and salty and aromatic, while fresh vegetables help neutralize it, making the whole thing less greasy. A little sweet and sour sauce or pure olive oil helps awaken the taste buds, making each bite harmonious.
At Coraggio, the chef often compares this dish to “a dialogue” – where the strong taste of bacon meets the lightness of green vegetables. The two personalities seem to be opposite, but they complement each other, creating a perfect whole – like two different musical notes merging into a common song.
Journey from Europe to Vietnamese dining table
Bacon Salad first appeared in European countries, especially popular in Italy and France. Italians often use this dish as an introduction to the meal – both light on the stomach and stimulating the taste buds before entering the main course.
Over time, Bacon Salad spread around the world and was transformed into many styles. In each country, the dish has its own nuances: some places add boiled eggs, some places use blue cheese, or even replace bacon with grilled chicken. But the core spirit –Combination of bold taste and light taste– is always maintained.
At Coraggio, Bacon Salad is based on a classic Italian recipe, but still has a modern twist. Each slice of bacon is fried at a moderate temperature to achieve the ideal crispiness, while the vegetables are always selected on the day – fresh, clean and retain all their natural flavors.
An appetizer, but packed with flavor
It is no coincidence that Bacon Salad is chosen by many diners as “the most favorite dish to start the meal”. Because it is gentle but complete, simple but sophisticated.
A plate of salad is brought to the table, steam still lingering on the vegetable leaves, the aroma of bacon mixed with the signature sauce – with just a touch of chopsticks, all the flavors seem to bloom. It doesn’t fill you up, but it makes you want to keep eating. Doesn’t overwhelm you, but leaves an unforgettable aftertaste.
Someone said: “Salad is the dish of people who live slowly.” Because only when we sit down, look at the colors, feel the crunch, and deeply inhale the light aroma, can we understand the beauty of streamlined cuisine – the beauty lies in the details.
