Broccoli Salad with Bacon

Recipe Description

I love this fresh and delicious recipe for Broccoli Salad With Bacon and I am so happy to share it with you now. I don’t know about you, but when the weather starts to get warmer and the days begin to get longer I start to crave fresh healthy salads. This easy broccoli salad with bacon is one of my all time favorites. 

As well as being totally delicious, this cold broccoli salad with bacon couldn’t be easier to make either. Start by frying bacon until crisp. Once the bacon is drained and cool, chop or crumble the bacon. Separate the broccoli into florets and add them to a large salad bowl. Add red onion, raisins and bacon to the broccoli. Make a dressing from mayo, vinegar and sugar. Dress the salad and chill before serving.

Healthy for sure, maybe not the bacon but the salad itself is really nutritious.
