Okra Salad

Posted by Lori:
This is one of my very favorite salads.

OKRA SALAD
1 large pkg. frozen breaded okra (fried in oil per package directions)
6 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
1/2 of a green pepper, chopped (optional)
4 green onions, chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped

DRESSING:
1/4 cup oil
1/4 CUP sugar
1/8 CUP vinegar

Cook oil, sugar, and vinegar long enough to dissolve sugar and then cool mixture. Mix vegetable together and pour dressing on just before serving.

I've made it myself, but since my children don't care for it, I don't very often. But, I have several friends who bring it for church fellowship dinners and ladies' luncheons. I always look forward to it at those events. Yippee! We have one in two weeks!!

  1. You fry the okra, right? Then add everything else in it? We discovered something similar years ago, and decided it was one of our favorite things to eat with hamburgers!
