Easy Broccoli Bacon Salad

This easy broccoli bacon salad is perfect for eating outside! Less time in the kitchen, more time enjoying the nice weather!

The weather has been incredible lately which means I want to spend less time in the kitchen.

I love cooking but I also love enjoying the warm sun and cool breezes at the park as late as possible.

That means I need to start prepping dinner earlier.

I saw a recipe for broccoli bacon salad on Instagram a couple weeks ago and I knew I had to try it, but with my own spicy twist, of course!

I've never been a big fan of raw broccoli but I really enjoyed this cold salad enough to make it once a week.

It goes delicious with grilled chicken or burgers, and takes less than ten minutes to put together.

Fun tip: it also tastes better the longer it sits in the fridge and soaks up the spicy dressing.

Over the weekend we had a last minute trip that was such as whirlwind we barely ate, so I knew I wanted a very filling and nutritious dinner.

I made lettuce wrapped burgers, these incredible cauliflower tots and a side of broccoli salad- perfection!
