  • Broccoli Salad
  • Description
    • Since summer is the height of summer BBQ season (and our 4th of July holiday is coming up next week), I decided to post a great summertime picnic salad.  This is one of my favorite salads... sweet, salty, crunchy, etc.
  • Ingredients
    • 2 heads fresh broccoli (or 1 pound frozen broccoli, rinsed until thawed and drained well)
    • 1 red onion
    • 1/2 pound bacon

    • 1 cup mayonnaise
    • 1/2 cup white sugar
    • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

    • Place bacon in a deep skillet and cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Cool and crumble. Cut the broccoli into bite-size pieces and cut the onion into very thin bite-size slices. Combine with the bacon, raisins, your favorite nuts and mix well. To prepare the dressing, mix the mayonnaise, sugar and vinegar together until smooth. Stir into the salad, let chill and serve.

    • For those that are always running short on time in the mornings, but would love to have time to have something warm to eat, here is your answer!

    • ½ cup milk or heavy cream
    • 1 cup shredded cheese

    • 1 cup chopped vegetables (like onion, green peppers, green onions, mushrooms, etc)
    • Salt and pepper (or any other spices and herbs you prefer) to taste
  • Directions
    • In large bowl, beat together eggs and milk/cream until well blended. Stir in all other ingredients. Spoon into well greased muffin tin, dividing evenly among the cups. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, or until set in the center. Allow to cool slightly before removing from muffin tin. Allow to cool fully before placing in zipper seal bag and storing in the fridge (Eat within 5 days). Before eating, wrap in a paper towel and microwave for approximately 1 minute.
