CHEESY BLT SALAD
"Frank's Salad" is what this was called at Palm's Cafe in Columbus, Indiana. When my new husband and I were just out of college with little money for entertainment or dining out, we enjoyed this salad often. It has remained a favorite in a family that grew from two to seven. -Maxine Wheeler, Columbus, Indiana

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe tomatoes and fresh basil.
- If you don't have any balsamic vinegar, you can substitute red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
- If you're using a store-bought crouton, choose one that is flavored with garlic or herbs.
- To make your own croutons, simply cut a baguette into 1-inch cubes and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- If you don't have any bacon, you can substitute cooked chicken or turkey.
