Bacon, Grape and Broccoli Salad Recipe

This simple salad is probably my favorite. There is something special about the mix of broccoli with grapes and bacon with the addition of a mayonnaise and lemon juice dressing. It's very hearty, nutritious, and a really quick meal of snack fix.

The texture of this salad is amazing: crispy bacon, crunchy almonds, and juicy grapes. This recipe usually calls for raisins, but I find the grapes to give a much nicer texture to the salad.

You can of course play around and use more or less of any of the ingredients depending on your preferences. Celery also goes well in this salad. You can also add fresh chopped dill to the dressing for an even fancier taste.
