I also added more vinegar - about 3 tablespoons. And a bit of salt (though would vary with the bacon). Very good! Thanks for sharing. -
Very easy and quick salad! I think next time I might add 3 tablespoons of the vinegar for a little more moisture. The flavors are a wonderful combination. The whole family enjoyed this! made for ZWT6. -
