Recipe View Chill (Optional, 30 minutes): For the best flavor, cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. However, it can be served immediately if desired.

For a healthier twist, substitute Greek yogurt for half of the mayonnaise.
To toast the almonds, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
Feel free to customize the salad with other additions such as sunflower seeds, chopped celery, or shredded cheddar cheese.
Make sure your broccoli is completely dry after washing. Excess moisture will dilute the dressing and make the salad soggy.

    I tried toasting the almonds and it really makes a difference! The flavor is much more intense.

  • Blair Zboncak

    The dressing is so easy to make and tastes amazing. I often double it so I have extra for other salads.

  • Payton Breitenberg

    My kids even love this salad, which is a miracle considering they usually don't like broccoli.

  • Houston Schmeler

    I love the addition of cranberries – they add a touch of sweetness that complements the bacon perfectly.
