Broccoli & Bacon Salad with Honey-Balsamic Dressing

Render the bacon in the oven instead of a skillet so it cooks evenly and you can drain off the fat halfway through for the crispiest possible result. Everything else in this salad is really just a vehicle for that bacon, so it's worth doing that part right.
