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.
