Broccoli Salad

So since I mentioned making broccoli salad I thought I better post the recipe! It’s best to make the salad a day before you need it. That way the dressing can soften the broccoli a little. Any nut can be used or you can leave the nuts out! When grapes are a good price I like to use them in place of the Craisins.

Broccoli Salad

10 slices bacon

1 head fresh broccoli, cut into bite size pieces

1/4 cup red or green onion, chopped

1/2 cup Craisins

3 tablespoons white vinegar

2 tablespoons white sugar

1 cup mayonnaise

1 cup sugared pecans

Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine the broccoli, onion and Craisins. In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar and mayonnaise. Pour over broccoli mixture, and toss until well mixed. Refrigerate for at least two hours.

Before serving, toss salad with crumbled bacon.
