TIPS:

  • Broccoli florets can be blanched for a somewhat softer, more vivid color. Just submerge them in boiling water for one to two minutes, and then immediately rinse them under cold water to end the cooking process. It retains the fresh crispness of the salad while making it somewhat softer.
  • To use fresh bacon as an alternative to premade bacon bits, cook it in a pan until it crisps up, and then cut it into little pieces. Crispy bacon from fresh will give it a pleasant Smokey taste.
  • Although cheddar is excellent, you may try using different cheeses, such as sharp cheddar for a more robust taste or even a combination of cheeses, such as mozzarella and parmesan, for additional depth and creaminess.
  • Include the avocadoes in the last just before serving and gently mix with the salad to avoid it browning. A little lemon or lime juice can also be sprinkled over top to prolong its freshness.
