A slightly healthier version of broccoli salad, but absolutely divine. At our house we ALL love ‘trees’ so this never lasts long. It’s better the next day, so make ahead!
Ingredients

- 2 teaspoons ground black pepper

Instructions
- Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown.
