Broccoli and Bacon Salad image

This is a great salad for picnics or potlucks! This version of broccoli salad uses more vinegar and less mayonnaise than most recipes. This gives you a slightly different, healthier option when choosing your next side dish. It's best if you wait until right before serving to add the dressing to keep bacon crisp.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the dressing next time.

I used light mayonnaise instead of regular mayonnaise and it was still delicious.

I added some chopped almonds to this salad for extra crunch. It was a great addition!

This salad is a great way to use up leftover broccoli. It's also a good side dish for grilled chicken or fish.
