If this sounds good,you might give it a try. I don't know what the formal name of this dish happens to be,but I call it tomato-bacon salad.

All of the amounts are variable,and it's pretty difficult to screw up to the point of being inedible,so have at it. The only thing to be careful of is the onion-add that a little at a time until you like the taste.

Start by frying 4 to 6 slices of bacon until crisp.

While the bacon is frying,cut an onion ( I use yellow onions ) in half and peel and dice 1 of the onion halves.

Then cut up about a half a dozen medium sized tomatoes. Dice them into cubes about a half an inch on a side,but there's no reason to be obsessive about the exact size of the pieces. Let them drain partially in a colander,or if you ain't got a colander,spread them out on paper towels to soak up some of the excess moisture.

By this time the bacon will be done,and what you do with it is simple-crumble it up into bits and mix it with the tomato pieces in a bowl. Add a couple of tablespoon of Miracle Whip ( or generic equivalent) and start adding the diced onion a little bit at a time. Black pepper is good with this,and if you want it a little tangier than it already is,add a few cap fulls worth of cider vinegar.

This is better the day after you make it,if it sits covered in the fridge overnight. If you've never made it before,I suggest trying it with your sig-o as a guinea pig,then serve it NEXT year ( or next time there's a holiday ) when you have all the bugs worked out.
