How To Make okra salad

  • 1
    Place oil in a deep pan and deep fry okra in small batches. Fry until golden brown & crisp. drain on paper towels. Place okra in a large deep bowl after fried.
  • 2
    Cook bacon until crisp. I like to cut crosswise into 1inch strips before frying. I cook the whole pound at one time. Drain on paper towels and add to okra.
  • 3
    Chop tomatoes, green onions and green pepper, and add to the bacon & okra. Do not toss until ready to serve. Cover the bowl and refrigerate until serving time.

    Dressing: Combine oil, vinegar & sugar. I mix it in a small Tupperware bowl with a lid. Place lid on bowl and shake to mix. Just before serving, add dressing and toss.
