Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, remove the bacon and let it drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the bacon is cooking, wash and cut the broccoli into small florets. Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion.

Mixing the Salad

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and shredded cheddar cheese.

  2. 4

    Add Crumbled Bacon

    Add the crumbled bacon to the mixing bowl with the vegetables and cheese.

Making the Dressing

  1. 5

    Combine Dressing Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Final Assembly

  1. 6

    Toss the Salad

    Pour the dressing over the salad mixture in the large bowl. Toss everything together until the salad is evenly coated with the dressing.

  2. 7
