  • If you don't have bacon on hand, you can substitute cooked crumbled sausage, ham, or turkey.
  • For a vegetarian version of the salad, omit the bacon and add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or almonds.
  • To make the salad a little sweeter, add 1/4 cup of dried cranberries or raisins.
  • For a little extra crunch, add 1/2 cup of chopped celery or carrots.
