Easy Broccoli Bacon Salad Recipe

Delicious! I used golden raisins and cut back the sugar to 1/4 cup and that was plenty sweet for us (I think I could've used even a bit less sugar and it would've been fine). I wasn't sure on using the raisins, but they tasted great in this salad. I made this earlier in the day and I suggest doing that so the flavors can blend a few hours in the fridge. I will be making this again for sure~YUM! Thanks for sharing. :)

I had a half-bunch of broccoli left, and this was a delicious recipe to use it on. For the dressing, I used Stevia® in place of the sugar, to cut the calories down, and my husband cannot tell the difference in taste. I liked that this recipe used red wine vinegar. We liked the tanginess that it added. I mixed the dressing up in the morning and stirred it several times throughout the day. I put the salad together about 45 minutes before dinner. We loved it. Served it with 'Slow Cooker Sausage with Sauce' from AR. Kind of an odd combination, but I needed to use the broccoli up. Thanks readycooker, for sharing your recipe!

Easy to make. Very tasty. Was a picnic favorite. Everyone loved it. I substituted the red wine with rice vinegar and the white sugar with Stevia (just 1 tsp was enough with the amount of raisins in the salad) and added sliced almonds too. Surely will make it again.

Received Rave Reviews and requests for the recipe! I did cut down the sugar to 1 Tablespoon of Swerve Sugar Replacement so I would have no "added" sugars. I also let the red onions sit in ice water for 20 minutes to reduce any bitter taste. It does taste best after a few hours marinating in the fridge. It was served alongside pulled pork, bar-b-q ribs, and homemade mac n cheese. Great Recipe!!

Loved it. Was a hit. Blanched the broccoli al dente, immediately chilled in an ice bath and refrigerated. Substituted roasted pine nuts for sunflower seeds; mixed the bacon liquid with the dressing; and added some feta. Can't say on the sugar because I always éyeball' measurements. Served it with BBQ Chicken and a dill sour cream bacon potato salad. Next time would sub corn on the cobb for the potato salad to avoid the similarity with bacon.

I cut back the sugar a bit. Probably added to the bacon since my husband and sons love it! I've made this recipe or close to it for probably 30 years and it is always a favorite! I peel the heavy part of the skin from the broccoli stems to make it tender to eat raw though.

This salad is everywhere! Everyone loves it. I don’t like raisins so I use Craisins and I blanch my broccoli quickly to make it more green and delicious. Perfect!

I made it a few times and love it. I added cauliflower, cut about the same size as the broccoli (about half the amount of broccoli as the recipe calls for and the other half cauliflower). I also use craisins rather than raisins. Some times I add halfed, seedles red grapes.

Delicious! I did follow the suggetion of others and cut the sugar back to 3 tablespoons and am glad I did. With the addition of craisins, that amount of sugar made it plenty sweet for my tastebuds, but I suppose that can vary. Other than, I made this recipe as stated and it will be in the rotation for sure. Very good and easy to make as well!

My mother used to make this and she added mandarins to hers and it was delish!

This is almost exactly the recipe my sister-in-law gave me except green onions instead of red onion and no seeds. It is yummy and a favorite at pot lucks.

Amazing! One of my favorites for summertime! I made this today with fresh veggies from the farmers market, and bacon from a local butcher. It is absolutely delicious!

Major hit for the family!

I’ve made this for years, but never with raisins. It’s so delicious and this side dish is so good with anything grilled.

Used dried cranberries. Even my daughter that made faces while I made it ate some, and liked it.

I used chopped up peanuts instead of sunflower seeds because that's what I had. Very easy. Very tasty.

This is next-level cooking, lowkey.

Made it for lunch, and it was perfect.

I used the apple cider vinegar and chopped two boiled eggs in it. Very very good! Everyone loves it!
