Today we celebrate yet another food holiday. This time it is another of my favorites bacon. Oh my love to eat it just fried up, eat it on my salads, now there are several new imaginative items made with it but on of my favorites is the classic BLT. I wanted to share this salad with you because it is the BLT salad and will feature nothing else than bacon.
