Cheesy Popcorn Salad
Ingredients
  • 10 slices bacon
  • 1 1/4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
  • 6 cups popped popcorn
Instructions
1
Acquire the necessary components.
2
Preheat a substantial skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the bacon slices until they are uniformly browned, taking around 10 minutes to accomplish this. Remove the cooked bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined surface to drain excess moisture; then, crumble the bacon into smaller pieces and set it aside for later use.
3
Combine 1 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese, water chestnuts, celery stalks, mayonnaise, 1/2 cup of the previously cooked bacon, carrots, and chives in a large mixing container; ensure that all the ingredients are well-mixed together.
4
Add a generous amount of popcorn to the bowl and stir it gently until the popcorn is evenly coated with the other ingredients. Finally, sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of Cheddar cheese and the additional 1/2 cup of bacon on top, and serve the mixture immediately.
