This savory salad has outstanding flavor combinations! A gal I worked with, Jean, would bring this for our pot lucks and there was never enough to go around. My husband Jeff added his name to the title (he actually leaves Jean's name out) and everyone at his work thinks he created this treasure. It is always a big hit at his work Christmas parties. I NEVER mix the dressing in until just before serving - keeping them in seperate containers ensures this salad will be at its best! Ingredients:
1 bunch broccoli |
10 slices bacon |
1/4 cup chopped onion |
1 cup golden raisin |
1 cup mayonnaise |
1/2 cup granulated sugar |
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar |
Directions:
1. Remove and discard woody outer layer of broccoli stem, keeping tender inner part of stem and flowers.
2. Chop broccoli into small bite-size peices, place in bowl.
3. Add chopped onion and raisins to bowl, mix in.
4. Fry bacon to crisp state, cool and crumble.
5. Place bacon on top of broccoli mixture, do not mix in, cover and refrigerate.
6. Blend mayo, sugar, and red wine vinegar.
7. Refrigerate dressing.
8. Blend dressing with broccoli mixture just before serving.
