Bacon Blue Cheese Artichoke Tossed Salad image

It's a cinch to mix this zesty salad together for a potluck. "It'll feed a crowd and then some," attests Karin Graw from Hudson, Wisconsin. "For a lighter version, I use less oil and a sugar substitute for the dressing and toss in turkey bacon. Either way, it tastes great."

I'm going to try making this salad with grilled chicken instead of bacon. I think it will be a healthier option.

I'm not a fan of artichokes, so I'll probably leave them out of this salad.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover bacon and blue cheese. It's also a great side dish for a summer barbecue.

I would not recommend this salad. The dressing was bland and the salad was overall very boring.

This salad was just okay. The dressing was a bit too sweet for my taste and the bacon was a bit overcooked.
