This is a light, refreshing salad. Perfect for lunch or to start off a meal. This is a scaled down version of the salad that will be served at our daughter's wedding. The caterer was generous enough to provide us with the recipe. Note: Cooking time is chilling time for the dressing.

I used to eat something like this when I was young, slim, healthy and human in appearance. Best yet!

This is a wonderful combination of flavors. I looked at the calorie and fat count and decided to lighten it up. The recipe was reduced to serve 2. Half the dressing was made and only a portion was used to dress the salad. One slice of crisp bacon was added and only a sprinkle of feta for flavor. The Red Bartlett is the perfect choice for this salad.
