Broccoli Salad


I know this is a rather underwhelming recipe to start February (yes I know I am late by almost 2 weeks) but its a healthy one, that is enjoyable and husband approved!



What you will need:

  1.  2 medium heads of broccoli
  2.  1/2 onion diced
  3.  4 strips of bacon 
  4. about 1 to 2 cups worth of red grapes cut in half
  5. 1 cup of mayo
  6. 3 teaspoons of vinegar
  7. 4 teaspoons of sugar
  8. about 1 cup of celery diced

What to do: 
  1. wash all fresh produce
  2. cook bacon, when bacon is done, put on a paper towel and blot out grease
  3. dice up all the fresh produce that needs chopped, diced or sliced
  4. crumple up bacon into tiny pieces (you could buy bacon bits but I like them made fresh)
  5. layer like you would a lasagna the ingredients excluding the mayo, and vinegar, and sugar
  6. once complete mix in a separate bowl the vinegar, mayo and sugar
  7. pour over salad
  8. stir well and make sure all is mixed well
  9. chill for about 1 hour in the fridge
I hope you enjoy this recipe, I omitted a lot of sugar that is in most recipes due to family of mine being diabetic I watch how much sugar goes into things, also keep in mind the grapes are going to give you a sweet taste that you won't need to compensate with a lot of sugar for. Also I don't add salt to my food, if someone wants salt they can add it to their own plate, this is a good way to keep sodium levels low. I find that this salad is good for getting fresh produce in your system, while also catering to your sweet and salty side of cravings.
