Broccoli Salad

Thursday, November 2nd, 2006

Cheers all!

I figured it was time to start adding some recipes to the mix. Here is one of my personal favourites! I was told that this was submitted to a local cookbook and called “Aunt Kerry’s Best Broccoli Salad.”

The BEST Broccoli Salad in Town!
Dressing:
1-1/2   cups mayonnaise (always use Hellmann’s)
2       tablespoons white wine vinegar
1       tablespoon Dijon mustard
3       tablespoons of honey
Salad:
2       bunches of broccoli (tips only) cut in flowerets
1       red onion chopped
1       cup of sunflower seeds or pine nuts
1/4     pound bacon, cooked and crumbled.
Combine mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, honey and let stand for at least 30 minutes. The longer the dressing sits, the better the flavour.  It’s best if made the night before. Just before serving, combine the broccoli, onion, nuts (or seeds) and bacon. Add the dressing and toss the salad to lightly coat the broccoli.
I have had TONS of compliments and requests for this salad. The good thing about this dish, it can go with anything that you are serving.
Enjoy!
Kerry
