Broccoli Salad
Ingredients
1 teaspoon salt
5-6 cups fresh broccoli florets (about 1 pound of florets)
1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds or pine nuts
1/2 cup cooked, crumbled bacon
1/4 cup of red onion, chopped
1 cup of frozen peas, thawed (or fresh peas if you can get them)
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup honey
Method
Fill and boil the kettle.
Place broccoli florets in a strainer or sieve.
Once the kettle is boiled pour water over the broccoli to blanch it, repeat until consistency is to your liking, I do this twice then run under cold water to stop the cooking process.
Combine broccoli florets, almonds, crumbled bacon, chopped onion, and peas in a large serving bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, cider vinegar and honey. Add dressing to the salad and toss to mix well. Chill thoroughly before serving.
