Notes
Substitute dressing: In a time crunch, use a store-bought dressing. Or, substitute the dressing for a homemade ranch or homemade Italian dressing.
Add protein: If you’re serving this salad for lunch, add sliced or shredded chicken for a more complete, filling meal.
Prep in advance: Prepare the vegetables, bacon, and wonton strips in advance, store the dressing separately, and mix just before serving.
