I love salads in the summer time. They are the perfect choice for lunch or a light supper. There’s no need to heat up the house or spend hours in the kitchen. Salads are quick to prepare and this healthy broccoli salad with bacon is high in fiber to fill you up.

The ingredients for this healthy broccoli salad with bacon can be changed depending on what you have in the house at the time. The base, of course, is broccoli but I love to add in fresh greens to give it an extra boost. In addition, I toss in cheese, dried fruit, onion and bacon. In this version, I’ve added feta cheese, raisins, red onion and bacon crumbles. You could try it with blue cheese and dried cranberries for a different taste.

This is an easy to make salad that takes practically no time at all to prepare. This is the dish that I tend to take to BBQs and picnics in the summer. I love using Newman’s Own Creamy Caesar Dressing because it’s made with no artificial ingredients, preservatives, flavors or colors.
Why not add a few pumpernickel croutons to the top?
