Notes
- Make Ahead Instructions
- This is a great salad to make ahead, as the flavors actually get better with time. Assemble salad with dressing, leaving the bacon out until just before serving. May be made up to 1 day ahead.
- Storage Tips
- This salad gets better with time, refrigerate in airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
- Gluten-Free Broccoli SaladWhen you shred your own cheese this recipe is gluten-free. Did you know that packaged shredded cheeses sometimes contain glutens?.
- Low-Carb Keto Broccoli Salad
- The only changes you need to make are to swap out the honey for a honey substitute or use monk fruit instead.
- Vegan Broccoli SaladReplace the mayo with plant based mayonnaise, the sharp cheddar and mozzarella cheeses with your favorite variation of plant-based cheese, the honey with sugar or agave, and, of course, leave off the bacon!
- Dairy-Free Broccoli SaladOmit or replace the cheeses with your favorite plant-based cheese substitute and you are good to go!
- Do not use frozen broccoli, it will be mush!
- You can use regular sugar in place of honey if desired.
- White vinegar or white wine vinegar can be substituted for apple cider vinegar.
- Freshly grated cheese yields the best flavor.
- If you prefer a less sweet dressing, you can cut the honey back by a tablespoon. Some is needed to balance out the vinegar.
- Use more or less shredded cheese
- Make ahead, the flavors are great as it sits, but I suggest holding out some of the crispy bacon and tossing just before serving, because nobody likes limp bacon!
