Enhance a tomato and cucumber salad with irresistible crumbled pepper bacon.

Ingredients:

0.5 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
0.25 teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions:

In a large deep skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until evenly browned, about 10 minutes, turning occasionally. Place the cooked bacon on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into a large salad bowl. Reserve 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings and allow it to cool.
Combine bacon drippings and mayonnaise with crumbled bacon until well mixed. Add tomatoes and cucumbers, then season with kosher salt, five-peppercorn blend, and cumin. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (preferably overnight) before serving.
