Broccoli Salad

Simple fall salad with fresh vegetables.

Course Salad
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 Oz. bacon about 4-5 slices
  • Sea Salt to taste
  • 3 cups broccoli small florets
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbs. vinegar apple cider
  • 1/4 cut onion chopped
  • 1/4 cup sugar granulated
  • 1/2 cup cranberries dried
  • 1/2 cup pine nuts roasted

Instructions

  1. Wash the broccoli in a colander and pat dry.

     

  2. Fry or broil 4-5 slices of bacon over medium heat until crisp. Place onto paper towels.

     

  3. Cut the florets off the head of broccoli. (I used raw broccoli on this salad, but you could use blanched.)

  4. Combine the broccoli, mayonnaise, vinegar, onion, sugar and dried cranberries in a medium-sized bowl.

     

  5. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for at least an hour to cool.

  6. Toast the pine nuts in a small saucepan over medium heat for about 30 seconds. Toss a few times until they turn a light brown. Do not overcook them. They can burn quickly.

  7. Before serving the salad, sprinkle the pine nuts and bacon slices on top.

     

Recipe Notes

 

I served this salad with a fresh loaf of French bread. It was easy to make salad that has the taste of fall.
