Broccolicious Salad
"I found this recipe in a Penzey's spice catalog, and was by Joy Henkle. She has a winner! the photo was gorgeous, also. I made the mistake of only making half a recipe. Won't do that again! It went so fast I only got one serving. A very nutritious, and flavorful salad.
Cooking time is for the bacon."

A bit different from the other broccoli salads....with the ranch dressing. This also didn't have raisins or cranberries. I enjoyed this very much, but I really wanted to add some raisins or cranberries.....lol. DS just gobbled this up. Made for Bargain Basement.
