- medium mixing bowl
- Measuring Spoons
- Measuring Cups
- whisk
Ingredients
- 1 slice bacon
- ½ tablespoon mayonnaise
- ½ tablespoon plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup broccoli
- ½ cup red grapes
- 1 tablespoon minced 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.

- 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.
- 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)
