    We’re having thunderstorms here in northern Illinois at the moment, but they plan to leave us with 95 degree temperatures this afternoon. I’m going to put this together now while it’s still 75 degrees because cooking just isn’t a thing when it’s 90+ degrees. Thanks for posting this! 😋

    Just an idea, I add my bacon right before serving, keeps it crispy and not soggy! I also use craisins and pecans! I also use about 1/2 as much sugar and about 1/3 cup of white wine vinegar to the dressing! Not trying to knock yours at all I am going to try your recipe tomorrow, just letting you know some other options! Thanks for sharing Catherine!!💕💞

      ......I was going to suggest using less sugar, and also adding white wine vinegar ( or even lemon juice) to the dressing recipe.... I agree about the bacon, I wouldn't add that until the dressing and vegetables were combined, then gently fold that in.
      I was also thinking that Asparagus, and green beans , would be good with this dressing, and the red onion and bacon.
