Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll need. For exact measurements, just keep scrolling down to the printable recipe card!
- Fresh broccoli florets, cheddar cheese cubes, crumbled bacon, chopped almonds, and red onion
- Mayonnaise, sweetener (monk fruit if keto, sugar if not keto), apple cider vinegar
Can I use frozen bacon?
No, I would not recommend using frozen bacon in this recipe. Thawed broccoli will not have the crunchy texture we’re looking for in this salad, and it would add too much moisture. I can only recommend using fresh broccoli (or fresh cauliflower if you don’t have broccoli).
How to make Broccoli Salad with Bacon
- In a small bowl combine the mayonnaise, sweetener, and apple cider vinegar.
- Combine the broccoli, cheddar, bacon, almonds and red onion in a large bowl.
- Stir in the dressing until everything is covered well. Serve chilled.
Obviously, this is a super simple recipe (even kids could prepare this!). All you need to do is mix, chill, and serve!
Can you make salad ahead of time?
This salad is best when eaten within about 24 hours of cooking, even though you technically could eat it up to 3 days later. The longer the dressing is on the salad, the less crunchy the bacon and broccoli will be. If you are meal prepping this for lunches, I recommend having your salad in a jar for each day, separate from your dressing. The day you plan to eat it, just add a bit of dressing and shake
