Instructions
In a large salad bowl, combine the popped popcorn, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, and diced celery.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, and white vinegar to create a creamy dressing. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
Drizzle the dressing over the popcorn mixture and toss gently to combine. Be careful not to crush the popcorn.
Refrigerate the salad for about 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld. Just don't leave it too long, or the popcorn might become too soft.
Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch and serve immediately!

Use freshly popped popcorn for the best texture. Feel free to adjust the ingredients according to what you have on hand; add olives, bell peppers, or even nuts for extra flavor!
