Recipe View 30 mins Chill: Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This also helps the broccoli to soften slightly.

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the dressing.
Toasting the almonds enhances their nutty flavor and adds a delightful crunch.
If you prefer a lighter dressing, substitute half of the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt.
This salad is best served within a few hours of being dressed to prevent the broccoli from becoming too soggy.

    This has become a family favorite. I sometimes add chopped apple for another layer of sweetness and texture.

    I was skeptical about the grapes and raisins, but they really make the salad! The bacon adds the perfect salty crunch.
