    This is, simply, a great salad. I picked it because of its ingredient list, as it contains things I love (bacon, pine nuts,... fennel). So easy. If the most complicated thing I have to do for dinner is fry some bacon, I'm a happy girl. I added a little balsamic to the dressing- this was a good choice.Read more

    Very, very good. Some might want to tame back on the vinegar content, but delicious all around.

    Very easy, very yummy. I thought the dressing would be "blah", but it complimented the bacon well.
