For a vegetarian option, substitute the bacon with smoked tofu or tempeh, crumbled and pan-fried until crispy.
If you prefer a less sweet salad, reduce the amount of sugar to 1/4 cup.
To add a bit of zest, consider adding 1/4 teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the dressing.
Feel free to experiment with different nuts, such as almonds or pecans, in place of cashews.
