My husband really likes the broccoli salad in mayo mix. This looks great as well.
I love raw broccoli and my family would love this because of the bacon – lol. Thanks for the idea – as a vegetarian I’m always looking for new ways to serve vegetables.
I need to find better ways to serve broccoli like this! I am not a big fan of broccoli by itself so I need to use this recipe to serve a healthy side for dinner! YUM!
Hmm, this is an interesting combo. I would have never thought about making broccoli salad before.
