I absolutely love this Broccoli and Bacon Summer Salad! I am frequently asked to make this recipe for my family when we all get together, especially during the summer when we barbecue a lot.
I am a big broccoli fan. I love it raw, I love it cooked, I love it in soup, I love it in casseroles, and of course I love it in salad!
I have been making this recipe for years, and have tried different additions to the salad, but this recipe happens to be the one that I love best.
