This is a recipe I got from a girlfriend. I normally eat broccoli steamed or stir-fried or as an appetizer in a fresh veggie platter. Here's another way of eating it - just raw in a salad. The original recipe calls for 12 strips of crisp bacon crumbled on top but I replaced it with almond sliver and dried sweet cranberry for a healthier twist.
INGREDIENTS:
6 Cups fresh broccoli florets
1 ½ cups (6oz) shredded cheddar cheese
1/3 cup chopped red onion
1 ½ cups mayonnaise
¾ cup sugar 3 tbsp red wine vinegar or cider
2 tbsp roasted almond sliver
2 tbsp dried sweet cranberry
PROCEDURE:6 Cups fresh broccoli florets
1 ½ cups (6oz) shredded cheddar cheese
1/3 cup chopped red onion
1 ½ cups mayonnaise
¾ cup sugar 3 tbsp red wine vinegar or cider
2 tbsp roasted almond sliver
2 tbsp dried sweet cranberry
1. In a large salad bowl, combine broccoli, cheese & onion.
2. In a separate bowl mix together the mayonnaise, sugar & vinegar. Pour over broccoli mixture & toss to coat.
3. Refrigerate for at least 4 hrs.
4. Just before serving, stir in dried cranberry and almonds.

This is the first time I've heard of this Broccoli salad. Looks so mouth watering. "Gonna try it one of this days.
ReplyDeleteyour post reminds me that I still have broccoli inside the ref and this looks like a good recipe! no cranberry and almonds around though, so I have to improvise. :)
ReplyDeletethanks for playing ... so sorry for the late visit... got really busy.
enjoy the rest of the week, sis! :)
Your food always sounds so great! I've had something similar to this with bacon. Delicious.
ReplyDeleteThis is new to me. I like broccoli's, I'll try this recipe. Thanks for posting Mira. :)
ReplyDeleteyummy this sounds and looks good!! :) will have to try this one of these days - in fact i was grocery shopping recently and looked at the broccoli, and realised I missed having it but I'm also bored with it... this should fix that problem :) :) btw are you interested in waldorf salad? I made a pretty yummy one recently, if you're interested.
