The end of December marks a festive time, with Christmas all around and the New Year just around the corner. But you know what else takes place at the end of this special month? International Bacon Day, duh! So, to properly celebrate this underrated date (December 30th, in case you were wondering), here are two very cool bacon dishes where health and yumminess meet.
Bacon Pea Salad
With a winning combination of frozen peas, shredded cheddar cheese, red onion slices, and of course, the life of the party: bacon, @tasteofhome’s Bacon Pea Salad is a concentrated shot of crispy freshness combining notorious veggies with greasy bacon strips. Simple and quick to make, you can serve it as the main event or a side dish to your other plates to upgrade every meal.
Crack Green Beans
If you’re into a slightly heavier alternative to fill your stomach up for a while, you’ll LOVE this Crack Green Beans dish by @deliicrecipes. Bringing together the delight of crispy bacon with the health advantages of green beans and topping it all off with a sugary butter-soy glaze, this perfect blend will make sure to warm you up from the inside out this winter.
