Recipe Summary Grandma Jane's Kicked Up Tomato And Cucumber Salad

This is the kicked-up version of our family favorite of a tomato cucumber salad, with added spices that blend into a mouth-watering experience.

Ingredients | Cucumber Tomato Chickpea Salad

½ 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

¼ teaspoon ground cumin (Optional)

Directions

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.

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).
