In the list of ingredients, the green onions were inadvertently omitted. My recipe calls for 4 chopped green onions, green stems as well as white ends. I always use more as I like the added flavor. Also, I put the crumbled bacon, along with the shredded cheese, on top of the mayonnaise spread.
I absolutely love this overnight salad. It always goes over well at a potluck or get-togethers.
