I love the concept and the video made it look enticing to make. Unfortunately, the dressing killed it for me - very sour. I'm not sure how to fix it - maybe less lemon juice or add some sugar/salt to even out the flavors. I even tried it the next day, thinking maybe it needed 24 hours to meld, but it was still not to my taste at all. It was also a lot of work to prepare. I see that there a quite a few versions of this salad on this site - maybe I can adapt the dressing from another recipe. 3 stars for the engaging video and the concept.

An easy salad for those hot nights!! This always disappears at pot lucks...men do love their bacon. And if you find you don't have bacon, use salami or pepperoni cut into strips and throw in some garbanzo beans, peperoncini, and basil; add Parmesan to the dressing! The possibilities are endless.
