Fresh Summer Salads - Good For Picnics Or Down at the Beach - Broccoli Salad

This broccoli salad is going to be a very basic variant - that, if you wish to do so, you can add onto many ingredients to spice it up the way you like. 

For when is this salad a great choice (compared to all the other great salads that are out there)? It always works, pretty much - regardless if you want to have food made, so you do not have to cook the next time, or if you are going on a picnic or a party. It always works. The following are the ingredients required for this great broccoli salad:

Chopped red onion - 1/2 cup
Bacon - 6-8 slices
Shredded cheese - 1 cup
Broccoli - 1-2 heads

For the dressing, these are the required ingredients:

Mayonnaise - 1 cup
Vinegar - 1/4 cup
Sugar - 1/4 cup

The following are the directions for this awesome salad:

The bacon you fry until it turns crispy, then you drain it off grease and put it aside (for the time being). The broccoli heads you will now cut into smaller pieces (about bite-size-). All you have to do, now, before eating your delicious summer salad is add the cheese, dressing and onion....Oh, and put the whole thing in the fridge for a few hours or the whole night. Just before serving, in a few hours or the next day, take the bacon and crumble it - and then add it to the bowl. I do hope you enjoy your broccoli salad!
