I loved the recipe, but I made one small change (which some of you might consider "big change"). I replaced the bacon with baked pepper (one red bell pepper put in the oven for about 20 minutes, then seeded and peeled, which is really easy once it's baked). I am not a vegetarian, and I love meat, but I think this combination is amazing. Enjoy!

Made my own balsamic vinaigrette. Made it with a HUGE bowl of romaine lettuce. We were having an "Italian night" so the seasoning on the BBQ pork chops was Italian, and I served it with lightly buttered fusili. Family raved over it!

I like this salad for lunch. It's not too heavy, and hits most of the food groups so nutrition is good. I use a reduced fat blue cheese to make it even more healthy.

This was very good! Great flavors. I used pre-cooked bacon which made it a snap. I used Ken's Balsalmic vinaigrette on the apple and didn't have the time to marinate for a full hour. It was more like 20 minutes and it was still awesome! Thanks for a great salad!

Amazing! The only thing I will do different next time I make this is add more bacon, but that is only my personal preference. Great recipe, great flavor!

I've made a variation of this salad for years. I don't mix the apply and dressing first, I just pour the dressing on right before serving. I also add some dried cranberries and use leftover roast chicken rather than bacon. if you want a lighter salad, just leave out the chicken.
