Directions

  • Whisk mayonnaise, vinegar, and sugar together in a bowl until well blended.

  • Pour mayonnaise dressing over broccoli mixture; toss to coat.

  • Cover and refrigerate until chilled, if desired. Sprinkle with crumbled bacon to serve.

Cook's Note:

The recipe calls for raw broccoli, but I like to microwave about 2 minutes in a small bit of water to steam, then chill. I also use light mayo or salad dressing and Splenda(R). You can omit the chicken and it makes a delicious broccoli salad.

Partner Tip

Reynolds® Aluminum foil can be used to keep food moist, cook it evenly, and make clean-up easier.

This salad is exceptional! I adore the bacon/chicken combo it is super in this salad. Love the crunch of the walnuts. Simply added S&P to the dressing before whisking it up. I used raw broccoli. Thanks for sharing Read More

The chicken & broccoli mixture was good. I used chicken cooked with lemon & herbs. Since we have nut allergies I omitted the nuts and added craisins and half a bell pepper diced and half a cucumber diced. Read More

Fantastic salad! I don't use sugar so subbed honey instead. Fried up a whole pkg of uncured bacon and added to the salad instead of sprinkling on top as a garnish. The dressing is perfect! Will make this salad A LOT!! There is a lot but leftovers will be perfect for lunches. Read More

Great summer salad. I added half a red apple chopped small and that extra sweetness added a lot. I put the salad on top of lettuce when I served it. Read More

I thought this salad was very good with a nice combination of flavors that went very well together. I even tried some without bacon (GASP!) and found it to be equally as good as the portions that included bacon. Thanks for sharing this recipe JeriM in Austin TX! Read More
