Tips
- For extra crispy bacon, use thick-cut bacon and cook it slowly to render out more fat.
- To keep the salad crisp, add the dressing and toppings just before serving.
- Use high-quality, freshly sliced turkey breast from the deli for the best flavor.
- If you prefer a lighter dressing, swap mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or a light vinaigrette.
- For added crunch, consider toasting some bread cubes to create homemade croutons.
- Prep ingredients in advance and store separately to maintain freshness and texture.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like Swiss or pepper jack for unique flavor profiles.
