  • Chill: Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour before serving. This helps the flavors meld and gives the salad that signature refreshing chill.
  • Serve poolside: Garnish with a few extra seeds or crumbles of bacon on top for presentation, and serve cold with a large spoon or tongs.

    • Customization Ideas

    • Make it vegetarian: Omit the bacon or use a plant-based bacon alternative.
    • Add fruit: Chopped apples or grapes give it an extra summery touch.
    • Lighten it up: Swap some or all of the mayo with Greek yogurt for a healthier twist.
    • Go nutty: Toasted pecans or walnuts add a rich crunch in place of seeds.
