Bored with the same old summertime side dishes? Wake up your taste buds with this Creamy Broccoli Blueberry Slaw with Bacon. It’s a feast for your eyes, as well as your taste buds!
Naturally, making your own homemade mayonnaise is not critical to make this recipe come out all tasty and wonderful. Your favorite brand of store-bought mayonnaise will work too. It’s just that by using store-bought mayo, you won’t have the added health benefits that the avocado oil mayonnaise provides. But I promise you’ll still love the flavor, freshness, and crunch of this delicious salad.

*Note – as with all mayonnaise-based salads; always keep chilled, before, during, and after serving. Especially in the hot summer months.

I’ve made this salad several times since I first came up the recipe, and each and every time my husband comments on how much he loves it! Must be the bacon! LOL
Whatever the reason, the bacon or blueberries, I love feeling like Wonder Woman in the kitchen!
Of course, a little wine doesn’t hurt, *wink*
But if I’m being totally honest, more time than not, I feel more like this:
Until we eat again, I hope you have a delicious day!
I love making my own mayo…this recipe sounds perfect
Such an interesting mix of sweet and savory flavors! Sounds great!
What a great way to use that fresh mayo you wrote about! I love broccoli slaw — especially when it has bacon!
You definitely have my attention with the added blueberries and bacon to this! And those aprons! I need that wonder women one! 🙂
