Who says a BLT has to be a sandwich? This pretty salad turns its back on convention and makes a great lunch or light dinner.

Ingredients

  • 12 slices bacon, crisply-cooked
  • 4 cups romaine, shredded
  • 16 dried tomato halves, drained if packed in oil, rehydrated if dried
  • 8 oz fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced

  • 3 Tbs red wine vinegar
  • 1/8 tsp sugar
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
