Just a quick tip, when I purchase bacon, I'll get an extra package and fry it up for when I need bacon bits. Can also throw into an oven @350 for about 30 minutes til done. Drain fat from it on paper towel then put in freezer bags by portion size. I use bacon in meat loaf and great for breakfast tacos. Great for reheating for quick breakfast and blt. Sorry didn't mean to hijack your post. Just thought you might like the bacon tip. I have made your salad and it's great.
