This hearty salad can serve as a satisfying light main course on its own – or it can be paired with another low-carb entree, such as this Garlic-Herb Roasted Chicken, and some streamed broccoli for a more well-rounded meal.
To make this vegetarian, omit the bacon.
Tip: For best results, prepare the homemade blue cheese dressing the night before to give the flavors a chance to blend.
