Broccoli Salad

We made a copycat Chicken Salad Chick Broccoli Salad and it’s pretty dang close.

Background: Chicken Salad Chick’s Broccoli Salad is simple, but delicious. We tried to recreate their side dish with this recipe. Packed with fresh broccoli, bacon, and cheese, this is a hearty salad that can stand on its own. The sauce is sweet and tangy without overshadowing the other ingredients. It’s an excellent choice to take to any summer BBQ or get together because it’s so easy to make and disappears fast.

• 8 slices of bacon cooked & chopped
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup Bragg apple cider vinegar
