Deli salads are a strange thing. I grew up going to potlucks and family gatherings where people just loved to mix miscellaneous savory ingredients with mayonnaise and call it a salad. Of course, I’ve never been too much a fan of deli salads … that is until I tried my recipe for super awesome fauxtato salad with sweet potatoes! Since then, I’ve been on the hunt for lightened up versions of classic deli salads, and this is yet another success.
Basically, you can throw whatever random produce you have in this and it will be good. Trust me … these ingredients may seem like an unlikely combination, but the sweetness of the raisins and saltiness of bacon along with crunchy, fresh vegetables all mix together to form one heck of a delicious broccoli salad. Helllloooo spring.
