This cool, crispy take on the classic sandwich is the perfect salad for hot summer days.
Turkey bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, fresh roma tomatoes, and a super easy homemade dressing make this simple salad “ooh-and-ahh” worthy at the picnic table, and if your family loves it as much as we did, they’ll be going back for seconds! 🙂
One quick note on the turkey bacon (which we love! It’s an awesome heart-healthier choice for all our favorite bacon-containing recipes) – My favorite way to make it is on a sheet pan in the oven. Just lay 8 slices on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes in the oven at 350 degrees. They’re perfectly crispy and ready to chop up for this great salad!
