Here is a recipe you can make the day before and refrigerate until needed - serve cold (couldn't be easier).
Broccoli Cheese and Bacon Salad
This broccoli cheese and bacon salad can be made with any cheese you like. If you don't want to make the dressing you can use any bottled variety. 3-cheese ranch is a good option.
Ingredients:
1-2 bunches broccoli
1 cup shredded cheese-any kind
1/2 cup raisins
1/3 cup red onion
6-8 slices bacon
1/2 cup nuts or sunflower seeds
Dressing:
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup vinegar
2-4 tbsp. sugar
Fry bacon until crispy, crumble and set aside.
Cut up broccoli flowerettes into bite-sized pieces, leaving just a little stem. Cut up enough for about 4 cups of flowerettes.
Mix with cheese, onion, raisins and nuts. Add dressing, toss salad and refrigerate 2-3 hours.
Add crumbled bacon and toss salad again just before serving.
