Colorful Broccoli Salad

This is an easy, & fun salad to make. Also an easy one for kids to make or help with. This looks great on the table--everyone loves it. Prep time depends on if you cook bacon or use jar. I used the prep time for making this with the jar. Also, the cook time is really the chill time.

• Ready In: 50 mins
• Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• 4  cups broccoli florets (fresh)
• 8  slices bacon, cooked & crumbled (I usually use 1 jar of real bacon pieces to save time.)

• 2  tablespoons vinegar (I usually use red wine vinegar)

1. Mix all top ingredients together in serving bowl.
2. In a small bowl mix sauce ingredients together until sugar is mostly dissolved.
3. Pour sauce over veggie mixture and toss until completely covered.
4. Chill at least 30 minutes before serving.
