A great summer salad. Whenever I make it, everyone wants the recipe. This salad will be the best and crispiest if everything is prepared at the last minute.

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 slices bacon
2 (10 ounce) packages breaded frozen okra
⅓ cup chopped tomato
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
2 tablespoons chopped green bell pepper
½ cup vegetable oil
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup distilled white vinegar

Steps:

  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels.
  • Cook and stir okra in the same skillet used for bacon until tender and browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  • Combine bacon, okra, tomato, green onion, and green bell pepper in a bowl.
  • Whisk oil, sugar, and vinegar together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in microwave on high for 1 minute, stirring every 10 seconds, until dressing is boiling and sugar is dissolved. Pour over vegetables right before serving; toss to coat.
