Follow The Directions

01

Step
10 mins

Crisp the Bacon (10 minutes): In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cool enough to handle, crumble into bite-sized pieces.

02

Step
2 mins

Combine Salad Base (5 minutes): In a large bowl, combine the crumbled bacon, broccoli florets, shredded mozzarella cheese, and finely chopped red onion.

03

Step
2 mins

Prepare the Dressing (2 minutes): In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar, and white wine vinegar until smooth and the sugar is fully dissolved.

04

Step
1 mins

Dress and Toss (2 minutes): Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture. Gently toss to coat all ingredients evenly.

05

Step
30 mins

Chill and Serve (at least 30 minutes): For the best flavor, cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!

For a tangier dressing, add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard.
Toasted slivered almonds or sunflower seeds make a delicious crunchy addition.
If you prefer a less sweet salad, reduce the amount of sugar in the dressing to taste.
Make ahead: This salad is best made a few hours in advance, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
