2 plum tomatoes
1/2 peeled cucumber
1/2 red onion
Julienne chicken

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!
