- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons white sugar

- Combine broccoli, onion, and grapes in a bowl.
- Crumble the remaining bacon slice. Whisk mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and black pepper together in a bowl; fold in the 1 slice crumbled bacon. Pour dressing over broccoli mixture; toss to coat evenly. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for flavors to blend, about 2 hours.
