Tailgating Green Salad

Tailgating Green Salad

This hardy salad holds up well whether in a cooler headed for its destination or on a buffet table. Kale, baby spinach, winter mix salad greens stand up to the bacon, sauteed onions, and tomatoes. This recipe serves 2, but can easily be multiplied for a crowd.
