Broccoli Salad with Bacon
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.
To make my version of Broccoli Salad With Bacon, you will need the following ingredients:

Recipe Reviews
Great recipe, really happy with this salad bacon n'broccoli mix.
Kids actually ate this salad just because I said it has bacon in it, LOL!
Didn't add any raisins at all because I hate the flavour but without them this was great!
Healthy for sure, maybe not the bacon but the salad itself is really nutritious.
Bookmarking this page you guys have the best stuff! Thanks so much for sharing this.
I suggest avoiding the sauce if you want to keep a healthy diet, sugar isn't very good for you.
THis broccoli salad with bacon and the garlic nettle soup are my two favs, can't get enough of either of them.
Perfect for a healthy little snack and you can even bring it to work because it's so simple to make.
I made this as a side dish cause it's not really filling on it's own, so made it before I made the soy sauce citrus chicken, they both go well together.
I added a lot more to this like some sundried tomatos, cheese and plus a bit more spices, it was wonderful.
Love this salad and this website, favoriting everything here along with the pumpkin bread recipe!!
Delicious and simple salad, exactly what I expected it to be.
Love me some salad with meat, this was really good.
Wasn't sure this would be enough for me for work but turns out it's more filling than it looks, happy with the taste too.
I used bacon bits instead of making the bacon to make things a bit faster for me so I can pack it to go on my road trip :)
I love broccoli! Thanks for sharing!
