For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and add sun-dried tomatoes for a similar savory flavor. Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preference. Red onion, bell peppers, or shredded carrots would also be delicious additions. If you prefer a lighter dressing, you can mix the coleslaw dressing with a bit of plain yogurt or sour cream. The salad can be made a day ahead of time. The flavors will meld together even more, but the broccoli may soften slightly.
