(from cokerlj’s recipe box)
Got this recipe from a lady at family reunion. It looked absolutely awful and I did not want to even taste it, but when I did, it was all I wanted to eat!!!

- 3 ounce bag of a good brand bacon bits
- -

- 3 tablespoons vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
-
Tips: The lady that gave me this recipe said to use the “Stillwell” brand of breaded fried okra. She said the breading stayed on the okra better than any other brand she has tried. In our area she purchased her ingredients at Brookshire Brothers Grocery.
-
First deep fry okra according to package directions.
-
Place on paper towels to drain oil. Cool to room temp.
-
Cut cherry tomatoes in half, add to okra.
-
Slice green onions, using bottoms and just a little of the green tops.
-
Toss in the bacon bits.
-
Dressing: Mix together the sugar, vinegar and olive oil. Place in microwave just long enough to dissolve the sugar and mix together.
-
Drizzle over salad, toss and serve.
