Mozzarella Bacon Broccoli Salad

Fresh, crisp broccoli, mozzarella cheese chunks, peas, red onion, and crispy bacon with an easy sweet mayo dressing. This mozzarella bacon broccoli salad comes together easily and makes for a great side dish!

This is a recipe that I meant to post back in the early days of summer because it's perfect for a BBQ or potluck. Well, I forgot about this post only to remember it the other day when I was craving broccoli salad 🙂 So, here it is. Maybe a little late but I just had to share it before Fall comes and these summer days are over.

I have this BACON & MANDARIN BROCCOLI SALAD on the blog and it is hands down my very favorite broccoli salad. Ever! It does take a bit extra work because the dressing part of the salad (typically a mayo based dressing in these salads) is actually a homemade dressing that you make over the stove top. Takes some time but it is so worth it. This mozzarella bacon broccoli salad is so easy to throw together. If want an easy & delicious version of broccoli salad then try this one.

Crisp broccoli, chunks of mozzarella cheese, tender green peas, red onion, and the all-time favorite bacon make this salad so yummy and the perfect blend of flavor and textures. The dressing is a very simple mixture of mayo, sugar, and some vinegar. Super easy but it adds so much flavor to this salad.
