I am giving this a 3 because of the salad dressing. It has way too much oil and no flavor. I had to doctor the dressing up and add quite a bit more sugar. But once I fixed the dressing, the salad was delicious.

I've made this several times. Super easy and people love it. I like to add grape tomatos for a little something something.

Wonderful recipe! I made this for a baby shower and it was a big hit. The dressing is simple to make and delicious. One tip -- I chopped the bacon in an electric chopper to get it into fine, morsely, pieces that mixed well throughout the salad.
