Tips for Making Sarah’s Salad
  • Check out How to Cook Bacon in the Oven when cooking the bacon. It’s my favorite way to cook bacon because I don’t have to clean the grease off the stovetop.
  • When adding the salt, start with 1/4 tsp salt and add more if needed. Some brands of mayo are saltier than others, and you do not want to over-salt the dressing.

    The instructions appear to be salad dressing ingredients. Does /4 mean 1/4 or 3/4?
    The instructions are missing.
    The salad looks delicious. I bet the dressing makes it.
    Please provide the quantities!!!
