YUM! I used turkey bacon, baby romaine (I can get Romain or iceberg here and I don't care for iceberg) and cherry tomatoes cut in half. It made a very welcome light meal last night. I'm already looking to having this again. Maybe I should add that I microwaved the bacon wrapped in paper towels which absorb any cooked out fat.
