Great salad, the bacon totally makes it. I used less mayo in the dressing, and although I like mayo on my beloved BLTs, I think I would have preferred oil in both parts of the salad. I had some difficulty with the bread crisping up to croutons and also with it sticking, where I know it has worked before when I have made them with oil. These are some huge salads, practically an entree! Well enjoyed.
