I made this for the Zaar World Tour II. I am going to be honest with you all I was very exicted about this recipe and when I got to measure out the vinegar my knees started to knock and I was sweating bullets!! That just morified me completely!! I was going to reduce the amount but told myself not to be a wuss and just do it. I did it and I think I like it. I think my taste buds are reacting to my fear!! As long as I get a piece of the bacon in my mouth with the rest I am fine. It is a good recipe I might make it again, just add more bacon and less vinegar!! :}

Really nice salad. I did cut back the vinegar to the 1/2 cup and found it to be just right for our tastes.:)
