Broccoli Salad

Submitted by BeachGirl

"Although my DH doesn't like broccoli, he LOVES this salad and requests it often. He swears it doesn't taste like broccoli. A very tasty combination of flavors that is popular at potluck suppers."

This is a wonderful salad. I used real mayo,real grated parmesean, 10 slices crispy cooked bacon and regular sugar.I used cider vinegar, because that's what I had and added salt and pepper. Will be making this often this summer, it's delicious.

I make this fairly often, but haven't used pecans or parmesan cheese before. I loved the taste they give. I used Kraft mayo and apple cider vinear. I love this stuff!
