Two summer favorites the Amish enjoy—well, three—come together in this recipe: tomatoes, bacon, and cucumber. Add some cream cheese to the mix, and you will have a refreshing summer snack!
🥓 Bacon and the Amish
What more is there to say? Bacon is popular among the Amish for the same reason it is among the non Amish. It's delicious, versatile, and available. And they also have their ever-popular Amish Bacon Treat! Here are some favorite uses:
- crumbled into salads
- fried and put onto sandwiches
- crumbled into dips
- crumbled and put onto the outside of a cheese ball
🥫 Tomatoes and the Amish
The Amish are avid tomato growers. The Amish tend to live mainly in the midwestern United States where growing conditions are ideal for this delicious fruit (yes, tomatoes are a fruit). Here are some favorite uses:
- sliced up and put onto sandwiches
- processed into juice or sauces
- Chunked into salads
