Club Salad

 

When the wether gets warmer, I all for not heating up the kitchen and making lots of salads. Plus I enjoy the how quickly salads can be so that gives me more time in the day together things done or enjoy the beautiful weather outside. 

This salad takes the components of the classic club sandwich and turns it into a delicious salad. A delicious salad topped with a delicious homemade bacon dressing. The longer the dressing sits the more flavorful it gets. If you can refrigerate it overnight that would give it the best flavor, but at least allow it to refrigerate for 15 minutes before serving.
