Broccoli Salad

A yummy summer salad that uses an interesting combination of ingredients. I was first introduced to this by a member of my bridge group.

Salad
  • 4 cups fresh raw broccoli (1 large head), cut in small bite-sized pieces

  • 1 cup celery, finely chopped

  • 2 cups red seedless grapes, cut in half

  • ½ cup green onions (approximately 5 onions), finely chopped

  • 10 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled

  • ⅔ cup slivered almonds, toasted

Dressing
  • Mix all salad ingredients together in a large bowl.

  • Combine dressing ingredients at least one hour before serving. Use up to 3 tablespoons of sugar and up to 1 teaspoon of curry powder if desired. Pour over the salad and toss lightly.

  • Note: An alternate recipe from the newspaper calls for only 1 cup grapes, plus ½ cup raisins, reduces almonds to ½ cup (or substitutes Spanish peanuts), and omits celery. Dressing has 1 cup mayo, 2 T. wine vinegar, and ¼ cup sugar (no curry). Says to refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving.

notes:

Instead of pouring the entire dressing over the whole salad, you can keep it in a separate jar and just pour the desired amount over an individual salad portion, as needed.
