Oh my gosh, such a good picnic meal! Delicious ham, cheese, and bacon mingle with a dressing of mayonnaise, sour cream, and Dijon mustard! An easy salad for a main meal or a side dish for the summer. It’s been unusually hot this year in the state of Alabama, so some of the salads I’ve been making have been so wonderful to cool everyone down.
