I have been making this Bodacious Broccoli Salad for years and I love it! It helps that broccoli is my favourite vegetable as it is a great source of Vitamin C which is a powerful antioxidant. It also provides potassium and fiber. I think it’s a wonder veg! But, I find that other people aren’t as easily convinced about broccoli’s super powers! Until they’ve tasted this salad that is.
This salad recipe takes broccoli, cheese, bacon and onion and combines it with a creamy, delicious dressing made from red wine vinegar, sugar, pepper, salt, mayonnaise and lemon juice. The result is a fresh and healthy salad which will have people coming back for seconds. Sometimes I add extra ingredients like different-coloured cherry tomatoes or a little bit of chopped fresh chili to add a bit of a kick. Play around with it and try some different combinations.
To make my version of Bodacious Broccoli Salad, you will need the following ingredients:
In a large pan fry the bacon slices over medium-high heat until they are evenly brown all over.
Remove the bacon from the pan. Drain on paper towels and crumble.
Mix the broccoli, cheese, bacon and onion together in a large salad bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisking the red wine vinegar, sugar, pepper, salt, mayonnaise and lemon juice together until fully combined.
Pour the dressing over the broccoli, cheese, bacon and onion and mix well.
Cover and chill in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.
Serve this salad alongside some grilled chicken.

I’ve always loved broccoli, but this Bodacious Broccoli Salad is a game changer! I made it for a picnic last summer, and my friends who didn’t like broccoli were amazed. They couldn’t get enough! The creamy dressing brings everything together perfectly. I even added cherry tomatoes for a twist, and it was a big hit. Thankful for this recipe!

I made the Bodacious Broccoli Salad for a family BBQ last weekend. My uncle was skeptical at first since he isn't a broccoli fan. After one bite, he couldn't stop eating it! The creamy dressing really brings out the flavors. It's now a staple at my gatherings.
