Crunchy Broccoli and Bacon Salad Recipe
This salad screams summer to me!
I'm currently in Michigan, enjoying a vacation with my sister Shannon and her family right now. This is a salad that my brother in law Jeff makes often.
I can see why he does, as it is a fresh and unique recipe. He grilled up some chicken to go with this, and the meal was absolutely delicious.
The crunchiness of the broccoli, saltiness of the bacon, and the sweetness of the cranberries is why I love this recipe. They all go so well with each other.
I also love that this salad is mayo free, making it great to bring with to a picnic or BBQ!
I would like to thank my sister Shannon, for taking the amazing pictures for this post! Enjoy!!
