Broccoli Salad Recipe

"Here are the basic ingredients for making a broccoli salad recipe."

You either like broccoli or you don't. Most people who don't sometimes find what they really don't like is cooked broccoli.<<>>

Put it in a salad raw with some sweet dressing and other goodies and just watch them gobble it up!

I like to add lots of different ingredients to a salad like this. Things like crunchy nuts of all kinds, seeds, fruits, cheeses, vegetables, anything really.

Putting the word "salad" on a recipe is like making a stew only with raw ingredients.

Here is the basic broccoli salad recipe with some options:

Ingredients:

1-2 heads broccoli
1/2 cup chopped red onion
6-8 slices bacon
1 cup shredded cheese

Dressing:

1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup sugar

Directions:

Fry bacon until crispy, drain grease and set aside.

Cut up broccoli flowerettes into bite-sized pieces, leaving just a little stem. Cut up enough for about 4 cups of flowerettes.

Refrigerate 2-3 hours or overnight.

Crumble bacon into bits, add to bowl and toss salad just before serving.
