Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Bacon and Broccoli Salad.
Step 1
Start by gathering all the fresh ingredients for your delicious salad.
Step 2
In a spacious skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until it reaches a perfect crispness, which should take about 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 3
Once the bacon is beautifully browned, transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease, then crumble it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crumbled bacon with chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced red onion for a colorful medley.
Step 5
In a separate small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, sugar, black pepper, salt, and a splash of lemon juice until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Step 6
Drizzle this creamy dressing over your salad mixture and toss everything together until every ingredient is evenly coated.
Step 7
Cover the salad and let it chill in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve.
Step 8
Enjoy this delightful dish that brings together crispy, savory, and fresh flavors in every bite!.
