Broccoli Bacon Salad Recipe

Okay, I cheated b/c I didn't include bacon because it's bad for ya, but I'm including it in the recipe. My broccoli hating husband always enjoys this.

10 slices bacon
1 head broccoli, cut into bite size pieces
1/4C onion chopped
1/4C golden raisins or craisins
1/4C grapes
3 tablespoons white or red wine vinegar (i prefer red!)
2T sugar
1C mayo (i used 1/2 C)
1C sunflower seeds

Cooke bacon, crumble, set aside

Combine rest of ingred. EXCEPT sunflower seeds and bacon.

Leave in fridge for at least 2 hrs to blend flavors and when ready to serve ...add sunflower seeds and bacon.

I've had this and the bacon is a great addition, tho 10 slices isn't necessary. Like you, I'd cut the mayo way back too.

Thanks for the recipe, I've wondered about it.
Hmm, since mayo is gross, I wonder if some nonfat plain yogurt would work for this...

I have used the yogurt but I never heard of putting the grapes or sunflower seeds in. I'll have to try that the next time I make it.
even bacon added wouldnt make brian eat this.....lol....it sounds really good but alas he HATES those ''trees'' :evil:
We love this! I have used yogart-- not bad.

Mayo rocks! :evil:
I have a recipe almost identical to this.. We love it. Here's how I made it: incase someone wants a different version. I think both are fantastic!!

Mine is very similar too - no grapes, add pecans. :)

2 bunches (no stems) broccoli - chopped fine
1/2 cup red pepper - chopped fine
1 small purple onion - chopped fine
1 cup raisins
1 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup pecan halves

Bag up these items


Dressing:
1 cup Mayo

3 teaspoons vinegar

Refrigerate dressing

Fry 1 pound bacon - crumble

2 hours before serving, mix everything together.
So funny, Broc is the only veggie my husband will eat willingly... and he has to cover it in mayo... gross

Me, I never met a veggie I didnt' like... or wouldn't eat... I usually eat them naked.. or with a light driz of extra virgin olive oil and a bit of fresh ground pepper
I love all veggies too, this sounds really good!
