      It's been hot in the bay area this week, so I thought I'd make a salad-as-dinner for my kids. I had locally farmed organic cherry tomatoes, so I put this together. Total hit! There's nothing like fried bread - but put that together with sweet tomatoes, a hint of garlic and some thick bacon! Wow. My kids even ate it up. Highly recommend as a great lunch or dinner in the backyard with friends and family. Thanks Mary!
