Notes

Chef's Tips:
• For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
• Avoid over-dressing the salad to prevent it from becoming soggy.
• Serve as a side dish with grilled meats or as a standalone lunch option.
Food Safety:
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Ensure bacon is fully cooked to avoid foodborne illness.
