I need to catch up to my life!

Bacon and Green Bean Salad

Maybe that isn’t a real thing. I made this salad a week ago for a Pig Roast that we attended and I am just now getting around to blogging it…

Our friends Rick and Rita (I love saying their names out loud) own a farm outside of Pittsburgh and every year they host a Pig Roast. I should take a moment to mention that Rick and Rita’s farm, Laurel Vista, generates some great produce and canned yummies. If you live in Pittsburgh you might have even seen their products in the stores. One of the favorites is the dilly beans which are pickled green beans. Basically everything they make is fresh and delicious! Stay tuned to the blog for a recipes featuring some of their amazing products.

This was our second year going out to the farm and we even brought the pups along to get some fresh air. The pup likes nature but likes sitting on my lap more so he spent a good amount of time taking in the sites from the comfort of my lap, it was kind of embarrassing. When Rick and Rita’s dog showed up he finally remembered that he was a dog and started to run around. Thankfully that ensured that he got all tuckered out for the ride home.

Let’s take in the beauty of nature for a second…

Not only was the view breathtaking, but the spread also took our breath away.

Since this was our second year I knew that we should probably bring something green. Last year I brought the yummy Strawberry and Spinach Salad  which I think went over well with all the guests. This year I wanted to bring a salad that was a bit different so I decided on using green beans instead of any sort of greens.

Bacon!!

I also found it appropriate to use bacon because when you are having pork you should probably have more pork, right? Anyhow, I hope you enjoy this salad and maybe you should eat it while sitting next to a lake on the most perfect summer day!
