Delicious

I made a grilled pepper and beet and bacon salad as a side dish tonight. With a honey-balsalmic vinegarette. It was really good. Roughly, I julienned each, then grilled them (on the Foreman grill). Used 3 pieces of bacon, 1/2 bell pepper, and three steamed beets. This was slightly too much bacon. You'll want to make this bacon crispy, and develop a bit of char if possible, here and there.

It was, indeed, very good. I wouldn't have thought to pair beets with bacon, but they end up complimenting each other nicely.

Too much bacon?! Is that even possible?? Yummy combo of flavors and textures.

Well, I mean, the bacon was intended to bring smokey saltiness and a bit of crunch to a dish that was "about" the beets, since we had beef for our protein!
