Use shredded cheddar or a shredded cheese blend instead of the cubed cheese.
Add 1-2 cloves of minced garlic or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
If you’re in a hurry, skip the dressing and add about 1/2 cup of your favorite ranch dressing.
Add a little finely chopped red bell pepper or pimentos for extra color and flavor.
Substitute finely chopped ham, turkey bacon, or Canadian bacon instead of the bacon.
Add slivered almonds, sunflower seeds, or chopped walnuts for more texture and crunch.
Try chopped fresh herbs like chives, dill, parsley, or mint.
This salad will stay fresh for up to three days when stored in an airtight container in the fridge. If stored properly in the fridge, this dish can be prepared up to two days in advance. Reserve cooking and adding the bacon until right before serving. This will help ensure that the bacon stays crisp and tasty.
