ROASTED BROCCOLI SALAD WITH BACON DRESSING
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Toss the broccoli together with the oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Spread the broccoli in an evenly spaced single layer onto a baking sheet. Roast until the florets just begin to char and the stems have softened slightly, 15 to 20 minutes.
- In the meantime, add the bacon to a small skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally until the fat has rendered and the bacon is almost crispy, about 5 minutes. Add the onion to the skillet and cook until slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the vinegar and sugar and stir until the sugar has dissolved, about 1 minute.
- Add the roasted broccoli to a large bowl and pour the bacon dressing over the top along with the walnuts, tossing to coat. Serve warm or at room temperature.

BROCCOLI BACON SALAD
Try this salad with baked ham or pork roast. I like serving it at Sunday dinners. My family just loves it-especially our 6-year-old grandson!-and our friends rave about its taste, too. I learned to cook from my grandmother (she was an expert!). New recipes are still fun to me 40 years later. My husband and I have four grown children...he's looking to retire soon.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, crisp broccoli: The broccoli should be deep green in color and have tightly closed florets.
- Cut the broccoli into bite-sized pieces: This will help the broccoli absorb the dressing and make it easier to eat.
- Blanch the broccoli: Blanching the broccoli will help to preserve its color and crunch. To blanch the broccoli, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Immediately remove the broccoli from the boiling water and plunge it into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Use a homemade dressing: A homemade dressing will give the broccoli salad more flavor than a store-bought dressing. There are many different recipes for broccoli salad dressing, so you can find one that suits your taste.
- Add other vegetables to the salad: Broccoli salad is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. Try adding other vegetables to the salad, such as shredded carrots, celery, or red onion.
- Serve the salad immediately: Broccoli salad is best served immediately after it is made. The broccoli will start to wilt if it is stored in the refrigerator for too long.
Conclusion:
Broccoli salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its fresh, crisp broccoli, creamy dressing, and crunchy bacon, broccoli salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
