SOUPLANTATION'S JOAN'S BROCCOLI MADNESS SALAD (SWEET TOMATOES)



Souplantation's Joan's Broccoli Madness Salad (Sweet Tomatoes) image

I had this at a chain salad bar style restaurant in FL called Sweet Tomatoes and found it online. Souplantation is another name for the chain. It was yummy. I make bacon in the microwave to save time and for easy clean up. If you use precooked bacon bits, this is a no-cook recipe. I think freshly crisped bacon is best but the other will do.
