Recipe, Broccoli, Guarantee Hit

If you are attending a party this summer weekend, I have a recipe that will get compliments. Even if  you hate broccoli… this will get raves:  Try it but bring along copies for the asks:

Fresh Broccoli Salad

2 bunches broccoli

1/2 cup chopped, sweet onion

1 pound bacon

1 cup grated sharp or longhorn cheese

Chop tender portions of broccoli into bite size pieces. Fry bacon until crisp; drain on paper towel. Crumble bacon; mix with broccoli, onion and cheese. Add dressing just before serving.

Dressing

1 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup sugar

2 tablespoons vinegar

Stir ingredients well to dissolve sugar.

Done. You can enhance the recipe by adding raisins, chopped walnuts or other items. You can make it a bit healthier by using Miracle Whip vs mayo. And, if you hate the mess of cooking and chopping bacon, go to your supermarket salad bar and buy it chopped. Adjust for larger crowd.

Happy weekend.
