Loaded Baked Potato Salad Recipe
If you are a weekly reader of Lady and the Blog, you know that I love bacon. So, any time I can throw bacon in a recipe, I DO. This recipe makes complete sense though, right?
When you get a loaded baked potato at a restaurant, it comes with bacon and green onions – so why wouldn’t I add that to this salad? But here’s the thing. My daughter is a vegetarian and if I want her to eat this, then I can’t put bacon in the mix.
So, sometimes I omit the bacon if the company I keep isn’t into eating meat. Don’t feel like you have to add the bacon if it isn’t your cup of tea. 🙂
