For a tangier dressing, use a little more vinegar.
If you don't have apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar or distilled white vinegar can be substituted.
Consider adding a pinch of celery seed to the dressing for added depth of flavor.
Red onion, finely diced, also makes a great addition to the salad.

    I wasn't sure about the sugar in the dressing, but it really balanced out the acidity of the vinegar and lemon juice. Will definitely make this again!

    So easy to make and absolutely delicious! I used real bacon bits and it made all the difference.
