Love this summer salad recipe! Bacon is also a staple in our fridge and gives this salad the crunch and salty bite that makes it so yummy!

Easy and delicious and love that it uses Greek Yogurt instead of your typical mayo ingredient! Lamberton is also an awesome new product that Cabot started making! THANKS Cabot.

One my favorite go to summer dishes! Love the combination of broccoli, bacon and cheddar cheese plus some Greek Yogurt to make it a bit healthier than the norm.

Tasty dish but too easy to go overboard with the cheddar which can then overpower the rest of the ingredients. My advice, go slow if you want to add more cheddar than the recipe calls for. Better to have a slice of cheddar on the side then add too much as it’s kinda hard to rebalance when there excess intertwined in the dressing!
