I’m excited to share my bacon and green Bean Salad recipe with you! You really don’t need a measuring cup for this recipe–use your senses and get crazy. My favourite part of this recipe is crunching the bacon between my hands. I’m a sucker for bacon, but it’s time to say goodbye to pork.
I’ll be enjoying my bacon and green bean salad sans bacon. I know, but I recently joined a gym and my new trainer, Katie Boyd, banned me from eating pork. Pridefully, I told her about my mass consumption of cured meats, especially parma prosciutto. So this salad recipe is what I ended up with.
