BROCCOLI, BACON AND CHEESE SALAD
This is a delicious summer salad, however I make any time of the year. It is always a big hit with family, friends and at church functions. We love it. It is easily made as a lowfat version, using low fat cheese and low fat mayo, even can use Splenda instead of sugar. Serving size is 1/2 cup. I obtained this recipe from Pillsbury Simple Summer Recipes Cookbook in approximately 1990. This is my first post to Recipe Zaar. I really hope you enjoy it.

Steps:
- Mix up your dressing ingredients and set aside.
- Mix all the dry salad ingredients (not the bacon) in a large salad bowl.
- Pour the dressing over the other salad ingredients, mix well.
- Mix in the bacon just before serving the salad.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh broccoli, crispy bacon, and sharp cheddar cheese will make all the difference in the taste of your salad.
- Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, not mushy. Overcooked broccoli will lose its flavor and nutrients.
- Use a good quality mayonnaise: A good quality mayonnaise will help to bind the salad together and give it a creamy texture.
- Season the salad to taste: Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as dried dill or onion powder, if desired.
- Serve the salad immediately: Broccoli bacon and cheese salad is best served immediately after it is made. The bacon will become soggy if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
Broccoli bacon and cheese salad is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy salad recipe, give broccoli bacon and cheese salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
