“This a hearty meat and vegetable salad: two pounds of maple flavored bacon make it very filling. It's a meal in itself!” - by MAGGIE MCGUIRE

Directions

Place bacon in a large skillet. Cook, turning frequently, over medium high heat until evenly browned. Cool, and then crumble.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Spread slivered almonds on a cookie sheet. Bake for approximately 12 to 14 minutes or until lightly browned, turning once during toasting. Cool.
In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sugar, and vinegar. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine broccoli, crumbled bacon, celery, green onions, red onions, grapes, and toasted almonds. Toss with mayonnaise dressing. Chill for several hours in the refrigerator.

But if going to use baco s instead of real bacon, only a..." See moredd it right before serving because otherwise they get mushy, and don't taste good. I also used light mayonnaise and added some raisins. It came out great."

"This recipe was recommended to me by a co-worker who makes it every year for Christmas. I also made it for Christmas dinner. Wow! It is awesome. I got many compliments. I do agree with others who..." See more state that it is time consuming but it is well worth it. I used 2 1/2 heads of broccoli and doubled everything but the sugar, bacon and nuts to lower the calories. There is no need to use so much sugar as the grapes give the salad the sweetness needed. This recipe will definitely join my favourites."
