For a vegetarian option, substitute the bacon with smoked tofu or tempeh, cubed and pan-fried until crispy. If you prefer a tangier dressing, add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard or a squeeze of lemon juice. To prevent the broccoli from becoming soggy, do not dress the salad until just before serving if you are making it ahead of time. Store the dressing separately. Consider adding other crunchy elements like sunflower seeds or chopped walnuts for added texture. Try using different types of grapes such as red or black grapes for a variation in color and flavor.
