I found this recipe in a Penzey's spice catalog, and was by Joy Henkle. She has a winner! the photo was gorgeous, also. I made the mistake of only making half a recipe. Won't do that again! It went so fast I only got one serving. A very nutritious, and flavorful salad. Cooking time is for the bacon.
