Instructions

Prepare all the ingredients for the broccoli salad.
Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy and golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and place on a paper towel to cool, then crumble.
In a large bowl, combine the crumbled bacon, broccoli florets, Cheddar cheese, and red onion.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, sugar, black pepper, salt, and fresh lemon juice until smooth.
Pour the creamy dressing over the broccoli salad mixture and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Cover the salad and refrigerate until you're ready to serve for the best flavor.
