For a sweeter salad, add a tablespoon more sugar to the dressing. For a tangier salad, add a bit more red wine vinegar or lemon juice.
If you're preparing the salad ahead of time, consider adding the bacon just before serving to maintain its crispness.
Try adding sunflower seeds or dried cranberries for added texture and flavor.
For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and add smoked paprika to the dressing to mimic the smoky flavor.
