The last of my popcorn-based treats is this unique crowd
pleaser, Popcorn Salad. I guarantee, your guests haven't experienced anything
quite like this. It is largely make ahead as all components, except popcorn, can be mixed together and
stored in the fridge, until you are ready to add the popcorn when it's time to
set up your Halftime Buffet. Because of the nature of the salad, it doesn't
keep well, and cannot be carried over to the next day. But, doubtless that won't
be a problem, because once your guests taste this, they will be back for more.
One thing that I cannot stress enough is to be certain to remove any unpopped
kernels from the popcorn before tossing it into the salad. The last thing you
are going to want to do is to cause someone dental pain!

How unique and interesting. I'll have to give this one a try ( without the bacon of course) I can use vegetarian bacon bits! As always, I love your presentation.
Your Game Day Salad is awesome and thanks so much for sharing with us at Full Plate Thursday.
Come Back Soon!
