This made a perfect dinner for 33 degree summer weather. For the bacon I used turkey bacon that I microwaved to keep the fat as low as possible then broke up. All else was by the recipe and it was just delicious and I used the olives (love them). Yum.

This was a beautiful light, refreshing salad. I used a red onion, kalamata olives and grape tomatoes, but left out the bacon as one of my guests has a pork allergy. This made far more dressing than I needed, so I used the excess to marinate some artichokes before grilling- which were also quite yummy!. Made for ZWT6.

This was so delicious!! My hubby even ate his entire bowl of salad. I was in complete shock when I saw that! The only thing I left out was the greek olives because I didn't have any. Made exactly as written and it really is a wonderful, light salad that feels like fireworks going off in your mouth with every bite! Thanks for the great keeper!!
