Recipe View 30 mins Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together, and the broccoli to absorb some of the dressing. (Chill time: 30 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a handful of toasted pecans or walnuts to the salad.
If you prefer a tangier dressing, substitute apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar for the white vinegar.
For a vegetarian option, you can omit the bacon and add sunflower seeds for some crunch.
