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.
