<\/figure>\n\n\n\nRule number 1 for this salad recipe: MAKE IT YOUR SALAD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add the ingredients you like, leave out the ones you don't. If you want more nuts than I use, add them. Don't like onion, leave it out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some people add grated cheese, shredded carrots, chopped apples or grapes, etc. to this salad. And that's perfectly okay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I trim it down by using yogurt in the dressing and cutting back on the bacon and nuts - trust me, there are still plenty in there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you cook the broccoli before adding it to the salad?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I like the broccoli raw, but if it is too crunchy for you consider blanching it for a few minutes (no more than that!). Just put it in boiling water for 2-3 minutes then strain and immediately dunk in ice water to stop the cooking and keep it bright green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ingredients for Creamy Bacon Broccoli Salad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
As stated at the beginning, there are no required ingredients for this salad other than bacon and broccoli. And the bacon doesn't even need to be pork bacon: beef, turkey or vegetarian bacon can all be used if that's what you prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In general the ingredients for my version are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- broccoli<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- bacon (your favorite kind)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- red onion (or white or yellow)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- nuts or seeds (almonds, pecans, raw sunflower seeds )<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- raisins (or other dried fruit like cranberries or cherries)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- light mayonnaise (or full fat if you prefer)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- plain yogurt (low or non fat)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- stevia or sugar (or other sweetener)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- white wine vinegar (or other mild vinegar)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
