Notes

-Time Saver: Buy packaged already chopped broccoli florets.-To make vegan: Swap regular mayo for vegan & eliminate bacon.
-To healthify: This is an original family recipe that has not been modified. If you would like to swap some of the mayo, you can try replacing 1 cup of mayo with plain greek yogurt(Kite Hill for Dairy Free).
