I thought this was a really healthy and flavorful dish that I served at dinner to my family. We all loved it! I have never really liked big chunks of tomato in my meals but this was so yummy. I ate some of the leftovers for lunch two days later and the bacon flavor was mixed well throughout the dish. Really filling too!

I'm a vegetarian, so I substitute fake bacon. I love Paul Newman's balsamic dressing. I printed this recipe in 2002, and it's still a recipe I make all the time. So simple, but so delicious!
