With or without orange juice

celery salt

black pepper

V8 juice works very well

Finely chopped fresh tomato

Finely cut lettuce, soak lettuce in red wine vinegar for a couple of
minutes

ranch dressing for part of the mixture is nice

fresh jalapeņo

strategically spaced bits of bacon is nice

bread make all the difference, lightly toast, or don't toast, lightly
mayonnaise
