Cleaning out the fridge yesterday and came up with this salad. It was surprizing good

Bake 10 strips bacon (save cooked fat)
Grill 1 Large Chicken Breast
Bake 4 quartered red potatoes
Saute 1 can quatered artichoke hearts
Make 1 cup of croutons using 1/4 of the bacon fat

in a bowl

10 calamata olives
2 plum tomatoes
1/2 peeled cucumber
1/2 red onion

Julienne chicken
break up bacon into 1/3 strips

In a large platter with lots of surface area

1 head of cut Romaine
top with all the above with the croutons ,chicken and bacon last

Bacon Vinaigrette

1/2 cup cider vinegar

emulsify with bacon drippings. If you need more fat, use olive oil. Add cracked black pepper and pour over salad. Enjoy... We sure did

Ooooo, that does sound good! Well done for a fridge clean out! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" />
I normally don't like bacon on much, but usually by itself, like with eggs... or a BLT...
BUT, I do like it in a salad! bacon & lettuce taste really good together!
