Bacon is a great gateway to salads. In my experience, add bacon to any salad and it’s infinitely more appetizing. This salad, for example, was a recipe we did for a grilling episode of the show. I wasn’t excited about the strawberries (because I’m not a big fan) and Tom, Wolfie, and my brother Patrick weren’t enthused about the salad. But when you combine strawberries with a tangy dressing and warm, crisp bacon, it simply works. If only we had taken before and after pictures that day. Skeptical faces morphed into very pleased, well-fed chins. I mean faces. This salad is also a great dish to bring to a potluck. For a good summer dinner, I like pairing this with my burgers, and if Wolfie’s around, I’ll make sweet potato fries, too, because he loves those.
