Recipe View Final Touches: Just before serving, stir in the remaining dressing and the grated Parmesan cheese. Toss gently to combine.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of crispy bacon bits just before serving.
Feel free to substitute other cheeses like Gruyere or provolone for the Swiss cheese.
If you don't have broccoli florets, frozen peas or blanched green beans would also work well.
The dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Adjust the amount of honey and sugar in the dressing to suit your personal preference.
