Hey, everyone! I tried this recipe out for the first time today and it was amazing. I got it from Healthy Cooking. This is a really neat dish for coming into Spring. I loved it.

3 bacon strips, chopped
3 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp honey

2 medium naval oranges, peeled and chopped
12 fresh strawberries, quartered

You're welcome, everyone!

Note: These are the things I didn't use because I didn't have it on hand. If you look in my food diary, the nutrition count is off because I didn't put the exact brand I used, I just randomly put it what MFP had. I didn't have time to track exactly what brand I used, but my diary is an estimation of it. So these are the things I didn't use:

bacon strips (I used bacon bits)
rice vinegar (I used apple cidar vinegar)
olive oil (I used Pam spray)
Dijon mustard (I used regular mustard)
I did not use salt at all
I did not use walnuts either.
