Cooking Tip

Bacon

For the best and easiest bacon to cook and display the best on the salad try baking it in the oven with a weight on it so that it doesn't curl.

Cooking Tip

Sunflower Seeds

If you don't have any sunflower seeds available try using sliced almonds. The salad still has the amazing flavor it did before just a little different almond flavor.
