This salad was fantastic. Full of flavor and everyone went back for seconds. I did drain a little of the grease to subtract a little of the fat and it was fine. Will make again, for sure.

I have never written a review before but I must say this is a very tasty salad. The only thing I substituted was the use of agave syrup for the sugar and turkey bacon for the use of pork bacon. Everyone needs to try this; you will be amazed. What is so great about this recipe is that the ingredients are items that I have on hand almost always. I was looking for a something new and this hit the spot.
