Delicious broccoli Greek yogurt salad for one is ready in just 15 minutes. It's packed with broccoli, almonds, red grapes, bacon, and a creamy Greek yogurt dressing with or without mayo. Make it to go with summer chicken burgers or add chicken directly to it!

1cupbroccoli
½cupred grapes
1tablespoonminced red onion

Instructions
Heat frypan over medium heat. Once hot, add slice of bacon, cook until both sides are to desired crispiness. About 5-7 minutes.
While bacon is cooking, make dressing in mixing bowl. Add 1 Tablespoon plain Greek yogurt (or ½ Tablespoon yogurt, ½ Tablespoon mayonnaise), 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar, ½ teaspoon sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Whisk together. Set aside
Chop broccoli, slice grapes, and mince onion if not pre chopped. Measure out 1 cup of chopped broccoli, ½ cup grapes (sliced in half), and 1 Tablespoon minced onion. Save remaining ingredients for another recipe.
Place bacon on cutting board, blot out excess grease with a paper towel if desired, chop into bite sized pieces.
Add vegetables and bacon to mixing bowl, and mix together with tongs until dressing coats all vegetables. Add ½ Tablespoon chopped almonds prior to serving.

Notes
When turning bacon, grab far edge with tongs, and turn away from you. Cover with a mesh fryer screen. Carefully pour grease into a (not plastic!) bowl, set aside to cook eggs, proteins, veggies (beet greens anyone?) later.
While this salad is good with Greek yogurt, I prefer a combination of equal parts (½ Tablespoon each) yogurt and mayonnaise, it's more balanced.
Save time by mixing the dressing together in the bowl, then add all the salad ingredients except the almonds all together.
Chop the broccoli into small bite sized pieces to avoid a huge mouthful of broccoli
Cut bacon fat off before chopping bacon. No need to bite into 100% bacon fat without any of the delicious salty bacon (unless you love it, then keep it together)
