Apologies to our vegetarian readers for picking a salad with meat in it, but Rudie’s has created a remarkable union of flavors. English bacon is nothing like smoky, crunchy American bacon — Rudie’s house-made version is more like rich slices of pork loin. Combining the succulent pork with juicy slices of fresh watermelon (lightly compressed in a vacuum sealer to concentrate flavor) and placing them atop greens and cucumber with goat cheese is an act of genius.
