American Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato Salad

Submitted by gertc96

"This salad is so fast and simple. It's perfect for a hot summer day. You can cook the bacon in the microwave and not even have to heat up the house. I use turkey bacon to make it lighter."

This was so very good. I used grape tomatoes and cut them in half. The bacon is what really gives it the flavor and we couldn't stop eating it. Main course took a back seat to this. Thanks for a great recipe. Will make often.

So easy to do and unbelievable how good it is. I'll do it very often I think :P I cooked my bacon in the microwave. I used Renee's ranch dressing with sour cream. Thanks :)

This was great - especially since we had leftover bacon on te fridge to crumble & add. I served the cheese separately because I'm prolly the only person on the planet who doesn't like cheese in her salad. Fast, easy & delicious. The only prob here was I served it with ribs & just(today!) available corn on the cob, so it wasn't devoured, lol.
