Recipe View 30 mins Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill thoroughly.

For a vegetarian option, substitute the bacon with 1 cup of toasted sunflower seeds or chopped walnuts for added crunch and nutty flavor.
To enhance the flavor profile, consider adding a 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese or crumbled feta cheese.
If you prefer a tangier dressing, increase the amount of apple cider vinegar to 3 tablespoons.
This salad is best served cold. It can be made a day ahead of time, but the broccoli may soften slightly.
