this was great, i followed the recipe exactly other than i used real mayo, since that was what was i had on hand. i served this at a bbq and it was a definate hit. BF has requested it twice since then. the bacon really makes this dish in my opinion, but all the flavors mix well together. another great one lennie!

Excellent salad. Broccoli was fresh from the garden. Instead of red onions I used shallots. Instead of cheddar, 4 oz. of gorgonzola. Instead of cherry tomatoes, a couple of garden fresh, fat Northern Delights. Real mayonnaise, because that's what I had on hand. 3 T. of straight rice vinegar, instead of 2; and 2 teaspoons of sugar, rather than 1/4 cup. Don't care much for sweet salad dressings. Result was excellent. Flavors mix very well.
