For a tangier flavor, try using a tablespoon of Dijon mustard in the dressing. Feel free to substitute other nuts, such as pecans or almonds, for the walnuts. If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked bacon bits. This salad is best served cold. It can be made a day ahead of time, but the broccoli may soften slightly. For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon bits.
