I made this for PAC spring 2007 and it was really good. Next time I make it, I will use less blue cheese and more bacon. The heirloom tomatoes were hard to come by this time of year but I was patient and it paid off. The dressing was really good too. Thanks "bitterman" I will gladly make this again. Barbara
