Broccoli Bacon and Cheddar Salad

Broccoli, bacon, and cheddar tossed together with a homemade creamy Italian dressing is a salad that can stand alone or partner with just about any main dish.

Combining some of my favorite keto staples, broccoli, bacon, cheddar, and creamy Italian dressing, was a no brainer. The flavors are all complimentary, and the creamy dressing brings it all together. It’s the perfect dish for lunch, or as a side for a backyard BBQ.
