SMOKY BACON AND BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Heat a small skillet over medium high heat. Add a drizzle of EVOO and the bacon. Crisp the bacon then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Add dried chickpeas and reduce heat to medium. Cook until toasted and lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Season chickpeas with salt and crushed pepper flakes and cool.
• Place greens in a salad bowl. Whisk together the mustard, vinegar and about 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil. Add bacon and chickpeas to the salad and toss to coat evenly.
