Instructions
-
Start boiling a large pot of water and prepare an ice bath.

Cook frozen broccoli florets in boiling water until tender-crisp, or simmer fresh florets for 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer cooked broccoli immediately to the ice bath, then drain well and pat dry.

Cook bacon in a large pan until very crisp, then drain on paper towels and crumble.
-
Drain most bacon fat, then cook chopped onion and garlic in the same pan for 3 to 4 minutes until softened.
-
Combine the prepared broccoli, crumbled bacon, cooked onion, and garlic in a large bowl.
-
Add grapes and sliced almonds, then gently toss.
-
Whisk together all remaining dressing ingredients in a small bowl.

Add the dressing to the broccoli mixture, stir to coat, then cover and chill for 3 to 4 hours before serving.
