Deli-Style Fresh Broccoli Salad

Delicious variation of this favorite deli salad. Honey is absorbed more slowly than cane sugar, so this may be better tolerated by those who are more sensitive to ‘sugar highs.’ Also, for those who find white or red onions just too strong of a flavor, I’ve used green onion for a milder yet still ‘onion-y’ layer.

Thank you for a delicious recipe, Anne. I used a bit less honey, about 1/3 cup, the green onions were very nice.

This recipe is fresh and heathy. I used less honey cause my family doesn’t like real sweet. I changed the bacon to Morningstar meatless bacon to make it vegetarian. Excellent recipe.

Way too sweet for my taste! I cut back on the honey, and wish I had also cut the Craisins in half. In addition, even though I chopped the largest head of broccoli I could find into florets, it wasn’t enough – they were totally overwhelmed by the bacon and the Craisins, so I had to add more florets. I doubt I will make this again – sorry, Anne!

Trying to figure out how to edit this, when I can I’ll make these changes:
Decrease honey to 1/3 cup
Add 1/2 tsp salt.
Thanks, everyone!

I love it. I just finished making it and because I am the cook, I get to try it. It is yummy even before I put it in the fridge to let it marry! I love the fact you use honey instead of sugar! I have switched almost completely to honey. This was so fast to make up as well. It took me all of 10 minutes including the thick cut bacon. Oh, I cut the bacon down to 5 slices because it is thick cut bacon. Otherwise, I would have used all 12 slices.

I only did a half recipe and then I still halved the half of mayo (1/4 c)! Delicious!

I’ve made this a couple of times and it is always a hit! Someone always asks for the recipe. I used red onion instead of green. Using honey instead of sugar makes it taste better.
