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!
*Disclaimer - This recipe was originally published in 2015. I'm working hard to update all my older recipes with recipe cards, new photos, and additional recipe information. But, getting to all of them will take time. Please bear with me. In the meantime let me assure you that this recipe is still a winner and one I'm sure you'll be well pleased with when you make it at home.
Naturally, making your own homemade mayonnaise is not critical to making 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.
