Recipe View 30 mins Chill and Serve (minimum 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours): Cover the salad tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For the best flavor, chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight. Serve chilled.

For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and add 1/2 cup of toasted pecans or walnuts for added crunch and flavor.
To prevent the broccoli from becoming too soft, do not overdress the salad. Add the dressing shortly before serving.
Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar to your preference. Some prefer a tangier dressing, while others like it a bit sweeter.
For a richer flavor, try using a flavored mayonnaise, such as roasted garlic or chipotle mayonnaise.

    I've made this recipe several times, and it's always a winner. I sometimes add a little bit of Dijon mustard to the dressing for extra tang.
