This homemade version of the famous Double Nickel salad consists of mixed green, crunchy bacon, crumbly blue cheese, fresh tomatoes, tangy red onion, and a sweet mustard dressing.
To be completely honest, my first experience with this salad was at the cafeteria in the hospital where I work. And then I discovered it at one of my favorite local restaurants, Rusty Bucket. I’m still not entirely sure where the name comes from but it’s definitely one of my favorite salads.
What’s not to love about a salad that involves blue cheese and bacon? A bed of mixed greens is tossed with cherry tomatoes, red onion, crumbled bacon and blue cheese, then topped with a sweet mustard dressing. It’s sweet and savory, fresh and tangy.
