Cookin’ on the Beach: Salad Sensations!

This has got to be the easiest salad ever.  And perhaps, one of the most yummy.  It comes together so quickly and is truly no-fuss but the dressing is absolutely delish.  This is another one I get requests for.

SWEET-SOUR LETTUCE SALAD

Recipe from Taste of Home Quick Cooking Annual Recipes 1999

Yields: 8 servings

1/2 C sugar substitute

1/4 C vinegar

2 T water

3/4 C half-and-half cream

8 C torn salad greens

6 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled (you can use turkey bacon, but be sure to cook it until it’s crisp)

Yield: 8 servings

In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the sugar substitute, vinegar and water; shake until the sugar substitute is dissolved.  Add cream; shake well.  Just before serving, toss greens, bacon, and dressing in a large bowl.

You could add quartered zucchini & yellow squash slices, toasted sesame seeds, and green onions for extra flavor.
