This is a fun recipe to entertain with and makes a great side salad! I read that the previous reviewer added avocado and I did the same. Loved the homemade dressing! I'll be making this again!

Delicious! I made the following changes based on what I had on hand: used turkey bacon (baked in oven @ 400 degrees for 15 minutes, substituted green onions for the chives, and added a chopped avocado. We all loved it.

My Sister-n-law served this last night with pasta and it was awesome! My husband and I are still talking about it. I could eat this everyday. Salad haters will convert after trying this.
