Preparation

Step 1

Cook bacon, drain grease, transfer bacon out of pan and let cool. Once cooled, finely chop. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine broccoli, cheese, bacon, and onion.

Prepare the dressing in a small bowl by whisking together the red wine vinegar, sugar, pepper, salt, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Combine dressing with salad. Cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve. Keeps well in fridge.
