Broccoli Salad by abouteating

Broccoli Salad recipes are delicious and can be nutritious. A real "super food" broccoli is chock full of nutrition, antioxidants and flavor. This recipe is also an easy way to get more vegetables in your diet.
I've got to admit, the dressing isn't too healthy - but it is delicious. Try no-fat mayo, light cheese and leave out the bacon for a more healthy option.
You can make this salad with raw broccoli or blanch it a bit to hold the color and soften the florets. If you don't like raw broccoli, blanch the broccoli for 1 minute or so. But be careful to not leave the broccoli in the water too long.
This recipe pairs broccoli, bacon and a dressing to make a sweet and sour salad that's a great side dish or meal all on its own.
