Bacon and Egg Salad Recipe

Bacon and Egg Salad is a good reason to move the traditional breakfast to a less than traditional lunch or summer dinner. Try it for yourself.

This egg salad recipe is unique becaue most of us associate bacon and eggs with a heavy breakfast and not a light lunch. This salad is truly tasty and different from the average salad concept; that's even more reason to try it out. I use pancetta rather than bacon and a couple of ounces less because it gives a much stronger taste - however it is saltier so be careful how much seasoning you add.

• 6 celery ribs (stalks), chopped

Season to taste with salt & pepper. Garnish with parsley.
