This was a nice light dinner. I didn't make the crostini, just served freshly baked French bread with the salad. We used real bacon instead of turkey bacon. The dried tomatoes I planned on using were no longer good so I subbed a few tablespoons of canned petite diced tomatoes in the dressing and plenty of fresh ground pepper. Great summer supper.
