Broccoli and Bacon Salad
Be sure to read until the end of the post to get the links to this week's yummy collection of recipes.
You'll find the printable recipe below. This is so easy! It's one of those recipes that you could add a bit extra of everything and it would still be so good. It doesn't have to be exact.
It's one of my go-to recipes when we go to someone's house for dinner or for a crowd.
I love anything when entertaining that is make-ahead.
It's perfect for summer when you don't want to heat up the kitchen.
Let's Talk Cheese
A great way to change it up would be to use gouda cheese instead of cheddar.
I'd advise against using grated or shredded cheese for this. It will have a tendency to clump up. Dicing it as I have done in cubes is best.
It's definitely a colorful salad.
Also on OSH! Southern Cornbread Dressing
Mix your mayonnaise sauce in a separate bowl.
Fold in the mayonnaise mixture and blend together with the broccoli mixture.
News flash…..I do not like raw onion. For the longest time, I left the onion out. My entire family loves fresh onion. I started adding it in, and I confess that it does give it extra flavor. Don't tell them that I admitted it.
It's such a yummy side dish. I love to make it in the summer especially since it doesn't require cooking.
In a pinch, instead of the precooked bacon that you heat in the microwave, I'll buy a larger sized pouch of real bacon pieces in the salad section.
I hope you enjoy it!

I like it! Only thing I would do differently is to par boil the broccoli, easier for some of my group to eat. Thanks for sharing.
I make this recipe without cheese or tomatoes but add dried cranberries for the sweetness.
