For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and consider adding toasted walnuts or pecans for a similar crunch and savory flavor. Feel free to experiment with different types of blue cheese. A milder blue cheese like Gorgonzola Dolce will offer a creamier texture and less intense flavor. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the vinaigrette for a touch of heat. This salad is a great make-ahead dish. It can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator. For a more vibrant presentation, garnish with additional chopped green onions and crumbled blue cheese before serving.
