Notas
Use bread cut into cubes and toast it lightly so it becomes firm and crispy. The garlic used to flavor the olive oil should be removed before adding the bread, preventing it from burning and turning bitter. Add the dressing gradually to the lettuce to control the creaminess. Since bacon, soy sauce and mayonnaise already contain salt, adjust the salt carefully. Serve right after mixing in the bread to keep the crunchy texture.
