This Fresh Broccoli Bacon Salad is a meal on its own or a very flavorful side dish. And it’s definitely even better the next day!
I love broccoli! It’s a great source of vitamin C (a cup of broccoli contains as much vitamin C as an orange) and other essential nutrients. It’s also a versatile vegetable that can be enjoyed raw, steamed, stir-fried, roasted, and more. The flavor of broccoli is mild and slightly sweet, and it pairs well with many other flavors.
