I made this for dinner tonight and it was great. The instructions say to add honey but it wasn't in the ingredients list so I added about a tablespoon. I also cooked up a whole pound of bacon and that was too much fat for the dressing so next time I'll probably use half a pound of bacon. We added sauteed shrimp for a main dish salad.
