Holy Awesomeness, Batman.
This is such a delish salad.
It's kind of a cross between my mom's broccoli-bacon
salad and the infamous "Fart Salad" haha...
Perfect as a side, for an event, or just to much on through the week!

**PS- This salad, in my opinion, tastes better if the flavors have
had a chance to 'marry'... so I'd make it the night before and
let it sit in the fridge, if it's for an event or shower ;)
