Directions
- Rinse and dry all fresh produce, then set the ingredients within reach.
- Warm a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the bacon until crispy, about 3–5 minutes per side; transfer to paper towels to drain.
- In a small bowl, finely dice the chives and peel and mince the garlic; add both to the bowl.
- Place the edamame in a medium bowl, cover with hot tap water, and let stand for 5 minutes; drain well in a colander.
- Juice the lemon into the chive-garlic bowl, then whisk in mayonnaise and the spices to form a dressing.
- Roughly chop or tear the romaine and place it in a salad bowl.
- Crumble or chop the cooked bacon and add it to the romaine.
- Halve and pit the avocados, slice them thinly in the skin, then scoop the slices into the salad bowl.
- Peel the mango, cut away the flesh from the pit, slice it, and add to the bowl.
- Stir in the edamame, then toss everything to combine and coat with the dressing.
- Divide the salad onto plates or bowls and serve with a drizzle of the dressing.
Two tips
- Make ahead: cook the bacon and whisk the dressing in advance, refrigerate separately, then combine just before serving.
- Leftovers can be kept in a covered container for a day; squeeze a little dressing over the top before serving again.
