This is a great salad that I make quite often and we enjoy it. I usually make potato salad to have with it too. It's a great combo of flavors and textures that go especially well with ribs and chicken.

YUM, wonderful summery salad, Very pretty on the plate and very tasty in the mouth !!A lovely light supper, i had some cherry tomatoes to use up so added them to garnish with the eggs and bacon. I'll be making this one often through spring and summer, thanks for posting, we loved the unusual dressing.
