5. Combine and Serve:

- Toss the salad gently until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.

Tips:

- For extra crispiness, cook the bacon strips in the oven on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and then crumble them into the salad.

- Make the dressing ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld together.

- Use a food processor or blender to finely chop the garlic and chives for a smoother dressing consistency.

- Lightly toast the bread crumbs in a skillet with a little olive oil for added crunch and flavor.

- For a healthier option, you can substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream in the dressing.

- Feel free to add other fresh ingredients like avocado, onions, or cucumber for additional flavor and texture.
