Super easy and fast if you regularly have these items on hand. If you prefer home-cooked bacon over purchased bacon bits, cook and crumble the bacon ahead of time, and keep it on hand in your freezer. If you don't have Marzetti Slaw Dressing available, your favorite brand or recipe will work well.

This broccoli slaw salad is filled with a variety of textures and flavors. Red onion adds a little bite to the side dish. Apples and carrots add crunch and sweetness. We loved the smoky bacon combined with the sweet dressing. A great salad for a cookout.
