This fantastic salad is great as a side or a light meal. It's bursting with flavor and a satisfying crunch. It's perfect for potlucks, weeknight dinners and meal prepping because it's even better the next day.
Fry the bacon while you are chopping the veggies. Chop the broccoli into small bite sized pieces and add all veggies to the mixing bowl with the seeds. See the post for making the tips to make this quick.
Remove the bacon and let it drain and cool. You want this bacon crispy. Chop finely and add to the mixing bowl.
Mix all dressing ingredients in a separate bowl until smooth. Taste it to make sure it suits your liking. This is the best time to adjust sweetness and "tanginess" with the vinegar. You can do this while the bacon is cooling.Add the bacon to your bowl and pour the dressing on top. Combine until the salad is coated
You can serve right away but it is best after the flavors have some time to meld.
