Bacon Tomato Salad

Teresa Ambra
Bacon Tomato Salad is dynamite! This 7-ingredient salad is savory from the bacon and both Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses, sweet from the Cole Slaw Dressing and has just a little bit of bite from the mild banana pepper rings. It is so easy to toss together and terrific for summer holidays, picnics, potlucks or even lunch menus. This gluten free recipe is a snap to make and wonderful to the taste buds.
