Bacon Salad

From The Real Family Camping Cookbook:

We call this bacon salad because then the kids forget it has vegetables in it.

Serves: 4

Ingredients:
3/4 lb. of green beans, with the ends snapped off
4 carrots, peeled and sliced
1 red pepper, sliced
4 oz. of Parmesan cheese, shredded
4 strips of bacon, cooked crisp

Preparation:
1.  Put the veggies and cheese into a large pot or bowl.
2.  Crumble the bacon in and toss the salad gently.
3.  Serve with a creamy dressing, like Ranch.

Variations:
  Try with different veggies like cauliflower and broccoli.
  Try with other dressings, like soy-ginger, poppy seed or French.

“We don't need a melting pot in this country, folks. We need a salad bowl. In a salad bowl, you put in the different things. You want the vegetables - the lettuce, the cucumbers, the onions, the green peppers - to maintain their identity. You appreciate differences.” - Jane Elliot
