Instructions
- 1. Fill a large pot with about 4 liters of water and add plenty of salt. Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil.

- 6. Add the walnuts to the remaining fat in the pan. Toast them for about 2 minutes over medium heat until fragrant.
- 7. Wash the salad greens thoroughly and spin them dry so they are not watery.
- 8. Take the beetroot from the sieve to let it drain well. Then grate it finely.
- 9. Chop the cooled bacon and the toasted walnuts coarsely.
- 10. Take a large bowl. Whisk vinegar, mustard, and salt together well.
- 11. Add the oil slowly in a thin stream while stirring constantly into the vinegar mixture until a creamy emulsion forms.

- 14. Pour the beetroot dressing over the salad. Toss everything gently and serve the dish immediately.
