Use turkey bacon, as the recipe indicates, if you’re watching your calories. A lot of people don’t like turkey bacon, so if you prefer the real thing, by all means use real bacon! Don’t be afraid of the garlic messing with the flavor of the apples. You’ll be pleasantly surprised. This is a delicious salad recipe!

Many years ago I was visiting my sister one summer, and I plowed through her recipe cards. This apple bacon salad was one that she had “starred,” and when I asked her about it she told me that she makes it all the time. So I had to try it. I’m glad I did. This is a super easy salad recipe to make, and the combination of flavors is surprisingly delicious!
