A few tips for this fresh summer salad: don\u2019t add the bacon until serving, as it gets soggy as it sits. And don\u2019t add salt and pepper until the last minute, as it makes the veggies release their moisture and the salad can get a bit soupy.<\/p>\n\n<div id=\"zlrecipe-container-433\" class=\"zlrecipe-container-border\" >\n<div id=\"zlrecipe-container\" class=\"serif zlrecipe\">\n  <div class=\"recipeRating\"><div id=\"post-ratings-47544\" class=\"post-ratings\" data-nonce=\"cf397c48a5\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_47544_1\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/asweetlife.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/asweetlife_stars\/rating_on.gif\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(47544, 1, '');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(3.4, 4, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer;
