Liz's Roasted Broccoli Salad

Here's the thing I want you to know about this roasted broccoli salad:

My friend Liz introduced me to this salad, which was introduced to her by another friend, Amanda, and isn't that just how the best recipes go? From one food-loving person to another, and onto another, and now here, to your screen, ready for you to devour in 5 seconds flat.

The flavors in this are just everything I want in all my meals ever: tangy, crunchy, slightly bitter and bright from the lemon zest, salty from the crisped-up bacon, and all built around a big bowl of roasted broccoli, which, in and of itself is a true hero.

I don't want you to be jealous, but as I write this, there is a sheet pan of broccoli, bacon, and shallots in my oven. My house smells amazing, I will be eating this soon, and IT IS A GLORIOUS DAY.
