About This Recipe
The famous salad of broccoli with bacon and grapes has been around for a while. While this salad is delicious, I wanted to stretch it a bit and make it more of a main dish. So I added pasta, and changed up the dressing.
This salad is fresh and full of wonderful flavors, even though it’s made with frozen broccoli. It’s ideal for a summer meal and is even great as a snack.
You can use fresh broccoli to make the salad; just remove the florets and cook them in simmering water for a few minutes until they are tender. Drain and continue with the recipe.
Enjoy!
