1. Mix all ingredients except bacon bits.
2. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for the flavors to absorb.
3. Add the "bacon" bits when you serve the broccoli salad or they will be mushy.
This is awesome; it tastes just as good as the one they serve at soup plantation I swear.
