BLT Salad

My husband and I love BLT sandwiches and have them many times when we are at the beach house on the cape or when camping. However, we also like this version of salad. It goes great with a loaf of French Bread or fresh fruit on the side.
BLT Salad
4 bacon strips, diced (we use turkey bacon)
1 bag of spring mix salad greens
1 tomato, chopped
1/2 c. cubed cheddar cheese
1/3 c. light mayo ( we use Hellmanns)
1-2 Tbl Sugar
2 tsp cider vinegar
1/2 c. salad croutons (I use Italian Seasonings kind)
Cook the turkey bacon in microwave until done. NOTE: when microwaving turkey bacon, try 45 sec. per slice....do not over cook!
In a salad bowl, combine greens, tomato and cheese. In a small bowl, (I use a large glass measuring cup for easy pouring) combine mayo, sugar, vinegar. Pour over salad; toss to coat. Sprinkle bacon and croutons on top. Makes about 4 servings.

This salad was awesome. My whole family loved it (even my 4 and 7 year old girls). I even added some cubed boneless chicken breast. Really yummy! Thank you Faith!
