I tried this salad for dinner tonight and it was so so so awesome, i used more chicken and more bacon than the recommended and i didnt know if i was supposed to cut up the bacon ...i did and it was the way to go. I drizzled a little dressing on the bread before putting the salad on top--btw you HAVE to have the bread it makes the salad a little more filling and the doughiness of the bread is just amazing. I used only one slice per plate cause two is just too much. oh, and i always make twice the recommended salad dressing and spoon it on cause i would always rather have more than not enough. i will definitely save this one in my recipe box and i look forward to having this for left overs tomorrow!!! --um hubby was VERY happy with dinner tonight! If you are looking for a salad to make and arent sure....YOU HAVE TO try this one!!!!
