I made this for a quick dinner last night. Veggies and protein so why not. It was delicious. This is my new summer salad!! I made it exactly as you said and I wouldn't change a thing. I used mayo, like you said instead of a dressing because I wanted a new flavor and this was great. Thank you for posting.

Quite good! Broccoli salad is my downfall, I really could eat the entire bowl by myself. The recipe I usually make has sunflower seeds instead of cheese but I really enjoyed this version. While anything with bacon just has to be good, this dish has a nice blend of flavors and textures, is very attractive and colorful. Also, not too heavy on the dressing. This would be a good potluck recipe, just make a huge batch cause it will disappear fast. Another tip, if you're so inclined, the raisins can be steamed a bit; personally, I like this just the way it is. Thanks so much, Bobtail!!
