Let me tell you, they were right. I got back raves from everyone I made it for and my son, Mr. Picky even liked it. Just a suggestion: do not sub out the real bacon with anything you did not cook yourself. No bacon bits, no real-bacon in a bag. Just. Don't.
It was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. Overnight in the fridge it got a little condensed down and heavier.. It was much fluffier first day it was made. If I were going to make it for a get together I would advance prep every thing [including the dressing] and combine/refrigerate for maybe an hour or two prior.
Here it is. Let me know what you think. The link to the original recipe is at the end. :)
p.s., I added raisins. Next time I think I will do dried cranberries and maybe some walnuts or pecans. ;)
