I love a classic. Books, movies, and mayonnaise laden salads included.
Honestly, I’m never really happy at a barbecue without a creamy potato or pasta salad, so let’s leave those alone for now.
This one’s a fun little update on the creamy bacon-y version of the classic broccoli salad. Not to worry, I don’t completely ruin the fun. There’s cheese, guys (and a little mayo still).
Also, if you want to add crispy bacon or even better, crispy proscuitto, I will allow it. I’m generous like that.
