For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and add ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese or crumbled feta cheese.
To add a touch of sweetness, consider adding ¼ cup of raisins or dried cranberries.
If you prefer a less creamy salad, use a lighter salad dressing or a combination of mayonnaise and sour cream.
The salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
