I still can't figure out what to do with the lemon!!? In the dressing???
confusing directions - but anyone that can cook can make this recipe using their brains. Only thing that needs cooking before is bacon. The other ingredients can be prepared when making the salad.
What do you do with the lemon?
Wow, pretty wonky directions. I guess they don't have a proofreader, or not a good one. I can figure out what they mean though, for the most part.
