Loaded Broccoli Salad has a name with a double meaning. It's "loaded" in that it has all the fixings you could want on a salad: creamy, tangy dressing, crunchy apples and nuts, crispy, fatty bacon bites, sharp cheese, the works. But it's also "loaded" in the way all the flavors come together for a rich taste that is both refreshing and satisfying. It takes 30 minutes or less to make this dish, and it's so easy to make, too; next thing you know, you'll be loading your plate with Loaded Broccoli Salad.
