Broccoli Salad. Yum. It’s one of my favorite side dishes. Or a midnight snack. Well, it would be if I was usually awake at midnight. Here’s how I make mine.
Start out with a lovely head of broccoli. Chop it into florets, peel the stem and chop it finely. Or just eat it, but DON’T throw it away!
Dice up a quarter of an onion.
Add salt, pepper and mayonnaise.
And cheese!
Grab a handful of almonds…
Chop them vigorously.
Combine it all in the bowl.
Cranberries, so delicious.
After adding a spoonful of sugar, then I get out the vinegar. Pomegranate vinegar. Absolutely divine.
After I remove a portion of the salad for Liv – who doesn’t eat the yummy goodness of BACON – add in a big dash of bacon bits.
Perfection. At least it’s close enough for me.
Here’s the handy dandy recipe.
