My Favourite Low Carb Broccoli Salad

This broccoli salad is one of my favourites! Making it for tomorrow's lunch.  This salad calls me by name!  It will be sitting on my desk and I always end up munching on it throughout the morning because it is sooo good!  This is similar to salad I buy at Metro; main ingredients all the same (Broccoli, bacon, cheese, red onion).

Ingredients: 

2 slices bacon

1/2 head fresh broccoli, chopped

1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded

1/8 large red onion, chopped

Bottled Poppy seed dressing 2-3 T per salad (this mades 2)

Preparation:

1. Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, and crumble.

2. In a large bowl, combine broccoli, cheese, bacon and onion.

3. Combine dressing with salad. Cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
