Broccoli Salad
Time: 15 minutes prep, 20 minutes cook
Servings: 6
Directions
- Remove all stalks and trim broccoli florets into bite size pieces. Rinse well. Blanch broccoli florets until a bright green color, about 30 seconds. Do not cook the broccoli! Place immediately in an ice water bath to stop the cooking process. Allow to drain in a colander to remove excess moisture for at least 10 - 15 minutes.
- Cook bacon and drain on a paper towel and allow to cool and crumble.
- In a large bowl, combine broccoli, crumbled bacon, onion, raisins, and cheese.
- In a medium bowl combine the remaining ingredients and mix well. Add to the broccoli mixture and toss gently.
- Place in the refrigerator to chill until ready to serve.
