BROCCOLI SALAD WITH CHEDDAR AND WARM BACON VINAIGRETTE
Broccoli salads are a dime a dozen, but this one, which is adapted from Ashley Christensen's cookbook, "Poole's: Recipes From a Modern Diner," is a game-changing celebration of flavors, colors and textures: broccoli, toasted pecans and red grapes are cloaked in a warm bacon-scallion vinaigrette, then sprinkled with small chunks of sharp white Cheddar. Ms. Christensen's recipe, which uses the florets as well as the stalks, asks you to blanch the broccoli (cooking it for a few minutes in generously salted boiling water, then shocking it with salted iced water). It takes a little extra time, but the crisp-tender, bright green broccoli, seasoned inside and out, is your just reward. Try not to eat the entire bowl yourself.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of generously salted (use about 1/2 cup kosher salt) water to a boil. Set up an ice bath next to the stove and generously salt (about 1/4 cup kosher salt) that water as well.
- Cut the broccoli stems from the heads; slice the florets into small pieces, each about 1-inch long. Peel the stems with a peeler and cut each stem in half lengthwise, then slice into 1/2-inch-thick half-moons. Add broccoli to the boiling water and blanch for 30 seconds; transfer to the ice water to shock the broccoli and stop the cooking. Drain broccoli in a colander, then set aside (still in the colander) to drain completely.
- In a large dry skillet, toast pecans over medium heat until they smell nutty, about 1 minute; remove pecans and set aside. Return skillet to medium heat and add bacon and oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until bacon has rendered its fat and is crispy, about 10 minutes. Turn heat to low and whisk in mustard and vinegar. Add green onions and pecans and season generously with black pepper.
- In a large bowl, combine broccoli and grapes. Pour the contents of the skillet into the bowl and toss to combine; season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the cheddar and toss right before serving.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh broccoli florets. If you only have frozen broccoli, be sure to thaw it and drain it thoroughly before using.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the broccoli florets into small pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the broccoli. It should be tender but still slightly crunchy.
- Use a high-quality cheddar cheese for the best flavor. A sharp cheddar or a mild cheddar will both work well.
- If you don't have any celery, you can substitute another crunchy vegetable, such as carrots or bell peppers.
- Be sure to chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the salad to become more flavorful.
Conclusion:
This broccoli pasta cheddar salad is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with fresh broccoli florets, cooked pasta, shredded cheddar cheese, celery, onion, and a mayonnaise-based dressing. The salad is then chilled for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the salad to become more flavorful.
