Equipment

1 large salad bowl with tongs
1 sharp knife to cut vegetables
1 large skillet to fry bacon
measuring cups

Ingredients

3 6-oz. bags butter bliss lettuce (or your favorite kind of lettuce)
10 oz. container grape tomaotes halved
10 oz. container yellow sunburst tomatoes halved
16 oz. thick sliced applewood smoked bacon crisp fried, broken into one-two inch pieces
1 cup parmesan cheese shredded
2 cups homemade croutons or your favorite croutons
1 batch Creamy Parmesan Dressing

Instructions

Cook bacon and set aside.
Layer salad, tomatoes and parmesan cheese in salad bowl.
Add cooked bacon pieces.
Toss with Creamy Parmesan Dressing before serving.
Garnish with homemade croutons.

Notes

NOTE: Do not refrigerate salad with croutons on top. Allow the croutons to sit out on the counter or they may get soggy. Add croutons just before serving.

NOTE: While I didn't break the bacon into 1 to 2-inch pieces before serving, I recommend it as it's easier to eat the bacon that way.

NOTE: If you can't eat pork, substitute turkey bacon for the pork in the recipe.
