BROCCOLI SALAD WITH GRAPES
This broccoli salad with grapes is a perfect salad for a hot summer day. The first time I tried it was at my aunt's 30-acre ranch outside of Dallas. The grapes and the bacon add an unexpected, but flavorful, twist. Add chopped cooked chicken to make this an entree.

BROCCOLI, GRAPE, PASTA, BACON SALAD
A wonderful summer meal, sweet and sour pasta, with the tastey undertones of bacon. This is from Southern Living Sept 2011. When I first saw it, I did not think it was going to be a good combination, but I made it because it seemed kid-friendly; but now *I'm* converted! I'm listing the ingredients the way they listed them, but honestly, half the sugar is perfectly yummy. Also, I did not find it necessary to chill the salad, so if you're running short on time, go ahead and eat it room temp! I also hid some boiled egg in this salad for extra protein for my kids--I just minced up the whites and blended the yolks into the mayonnaise mixture. They LOVED it! Lastly, the reviews for this on myrecipes.com gets 5 stars with 42 reviews, so it's worth a try!

Tips:

- If you don't have any red grapes on hand, you can use green grapes instead.
- To make the salad ahead of time, simply prepare the dressing and chop the broccoli and bacon. Then, store the dressing and ingredients separately in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve, simply toss everything together and enjoy.
- This salad is also a great way to use up leftover bacon.
