Ideas for a salad?

[Constance]

I have half a rare-cooked fillet mignon, 6 pieces cooked thick-sliced bacon, avocado and lettuce. I am out of bleu cheese and have no tomatoes.

Does anyone have any suggestions about making a salad using the first three ingredients. I do have a good pantry.

The only thing I would add is onion. It could be Spring, white, whatever. I'm trying to think of pantry ingredients that you could add to this and I can't. To me, pantry ingredients are canned things or spices/herbs. As far as a dressing I think a simple Dijon vinaigrette would work.

You could make it Asian and use a soy sauce based dressing and then add sliced water chestnuts to the salad.

have you tried Japanese salad?

Can you make a Japanese salad with the ingredients she says she has on hand?

We had this today and even the little ones enjoyed it.
