I've long relied on soups as a way to cram as many vegetables as I can into my family's diet, but the truth is, my daughter prefers to eat her leafy greens mixed into one of her two favorite foods:
Waaay beyond boring macaroni salad. Bacon, tomatoes and pickle relish add loads of flavor to a picnic-perfect salad that's just the thing for a hot summer day.
This is not at all difficult to make - although you can use uncooked bacon strips I prefer to semi-cook the bacon in the oven first just to release some fat but do not cook until crisp or wrapping it around the chicken will be impossible - the chicken may be prepared up to one day in advance, which makes this great dinner party food, just cover refrigerate and mix up the sauce when ready to bake :)
