THURSDAY AT THE BEACH - HOT BACON DRESSING for SALAD

For the last two days the skies were clear but the NW winds were strange and cool. At least the ocean was warm for swimming and the wnds mad the southerly direction very easy. It is that way today but it is finally getting warmer and the winds have subsided. It should get to at least 80 degrees today.

Here is a real easy dressing that can be drizzled over a warm or chilled salad.
