For the Salad

Easy to make. Delicious as is! Love this recipe. I could eat the whole bowl but I do share with friends. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

I have made this several times for church small group gatherings and EVERY time someone asks me for the recipe. I have made some personal adaptations along the way.: chick peas instead of pinto beans and once I forgot the bacon.  No complaints either time. This recipe is easy and so so so delicious.
