Step 1

Cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, then transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to cool. Once cooled, crumble the bacon and set aside.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by combining mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and toss thoroughly to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 7

Add the crumbled bacon to the salad and gently toss to mix.

Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Serve cold as a side dish or a light meal. Enjoy!
