What do you think of this Bacon Broccoli Salad?
Tastes just like my Mom’s recipe.
I was a vegetarian for a year in high school and didn’t like vegetables. Go figure… these days I love and eat ALL my veggies (and meat, too) so this bacon and broccoli salad sounds fantastic!
I’m not the hugest broccoli fan, but if there is BACON involved, well…sign me up! Looks delicious 🙂
Thanks Denise! I hate to be cliche but bacon really does make everything better doesn’t it? 😉
I have to try this!
