For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and add some toasted sunflower seeds for extra crunch.
If you prefer a sweeter salad, add an extra tablespoon or two of brown sugar to the dressing.
To prevent the broccoli from wilting, add the dressing shortly before serving.
Try using different nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, for a different flavor profile.
Add some shredded cheddar cheese for an extra layer of savory flavor.
