Paula's Okra Salad

Fried Okra Salad

There is a recipe for canned okra under vegetables on this site. It is similar to pickled okra and can be used in this recipe. I really like it better.



1 1/2 lbs. okra, fresh or 1 qt. canned okra.
2 tomatoes, chopped or 1 carton of grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 green pepper, diced
1 bunch green onions, diced
6 slices bacon cooked and crumbled or 1 pkg. of real recipe size bacon bits
1/2 c. oil
1/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. vinegar

Fry okra as you usually do. Drain, In a bowl combine okra, tomatoes, bell pepper, green onions and bacon. In a small saucepan combine oil, sugar, and vinegar. Cook until sugar dissolves. (I use a glass measuring cup and the microwave) Pour over okra mixture and serve
