Broccoli Salad is one of my favorite go-to summer recipes with fresh broccoli, crisp smoked bacon, sweet red onion, and crunchy sliced almonds all in a slightly sweet mayo base. It is always one of the first side dishes to disappear at potlucks, family reunions, and neighborhood BBQs. This dish comes together in about fifteen minutes if you precook the bacon or purchase it cooked. It is a great side dish for grilled chicken, pork tenderloin, or steak
