Grandma Jane's Kicked Up Tomato and Cucumber Salad

Grandma Jane's Kicked Up Tomato and Cucumber Salad

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound thick-sliced peppered bacon
  • 1 tablespoon bacon drippings
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 large tomatoes, diced
  • 2 large cucumbers, diced
  • kosher salt to taste
  • freshly cracked five-peppercorn seasoning to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)


Directions

  1. Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. When cool, crumble the bacon into a large salad bowl. Reserve 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings, and let cool.
  2. Mix the bacon drippings and mayonnaise into the crumbled bacon until thoroughly combined; stir in tomatoes and cucumbers. Season to taste with kosher salt, five-peppercorn blend, and cumin. Allow to chill for at least 1 hour before serving (overnight is better).
