Fried Okra Salad

1. 1

   Fry bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from skillet and transfer to a paper towel to drain, crumbling when cooled. With the bacon drippings still in the skillet, plus any additional oil needed for frying, cook the frozen, breaded okra until tender. Drain and transfer okra to a large mixing bowl or serving dish, and toss with the crumbled bacon while still warm. When the okra and bacon mixture reaches room temperature, add the chopped green onion, bell pepper, and halved cherry tomatoes. Gently stir ingredients together to combine.

2. 2

   In a large liquid measuring cup or bowl, combine olive oil, vinegar, and sugar. Whisk together to create a syrup until sugar has dissolved. Pour over the salad and toss to coat.

3. 3

   Chill before serving, or serve while lukewarm!
