BROCCOLI, BACON AND CHEESE SALAD



Broccoli, Bacon and Cheese Salad image

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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and crispy broccoli: Look for broccoli florets that are a deep green color and have tightly closed buds. Avoid florets that are yellow or have brown spots.
  • Use high-quality cheese: For the best flavor, use a sharp cheddar cheese or a combination of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Cook the bacon until it is crispy: This will give the salad a smoky and savory flavor.
  • Use a variety of nuts: For added crunch and flavor, use a combination of walnuts, almonds, and pecans.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
