Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, apple cider vinegar, mayo, salt and pepper until well blended.
Place the broccoli, cheese, and bacon in a large bowl and toss to mix.
Pour the dressing over top, and then gently stir thoroughly so the dressing is well distributed.
Chill and serve.
Notes
You can use regular sugar in place of honey if desired. White wine vinegar or red wine vinegar can be substituted for apple cider vinegar.
Freshly grated cheese yields the best flavor.
This dressing is not overly sweet, however, if you prefer a less sweet dressing, you can cut the honey back by a tablespoon. Some is needed to balance out the vinegar.
If you like your broccoli a bit more tender, you can blanch it. See the post for the how-to.
I recommend cooking bacon in the oven for the easiest most hands off way. See the post for details.
