BROCCOLI SALAD

Steps:

SOUTHERN BROCCOLI SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium. Add bacon and cook, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; discard bacon fat or reserve for another use. Chop the bacon into bite-size pieces.
• Meanwhile, add broccoli to boiling water and cook until bright green, 1 minute. Rinse under cold water until cool (or transfer to an ice bath). Drain broccoli well and pat dry.
• In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, onion, vinegar and sugar and mix well. Add the broccoli, cheese, raisins and sunflower seeds. Season with salt and pepper, and toss until well combined. (If time allows, refrigerate for 30 minutes to 3 hours to allow flavors to meld, stirring occasionally.)
• Transfer broccoli salad to a serving bowl or platter. Top with bacon. Salad can be served immediately, or refrigerated and served chilled.

BACON AND BROCCOLI SALAD

Steps:

• Add the bacon to a large skillet and cook over medium-low heat, flipping it as needed, until all the fat has rendered, about 8 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Let cool, then crumble.
• Meanwhile, stir together the broccoli, scallions, onions and grapes in a large bowl.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar, milk and vinegar in a medium bowl. Taste and season the dressing with salt and pepper.

KELLY'S HAM JELL-O® SALAD

Steps:

• Dissolve lemon gelatin in boiling water in a large bowl. Pour reserved pineapple juice and white wine vinegar into a measuring cup; add enough cold water to equal 1 cup. Stir water-juice mixture into gelatin mixture; refrigerate until cold and beginning to set, about 30 minutes.
• Stir mayonnaise and spicy brown mustard together in a bowl; whisk mayonnaise mixture into cooled lemon gelatin mixture until smooth. Gently fold cabbage, celery, ham, and reserved pineapple into gelatin. Transfer mixture into a ring-shaped gelatin mold.
• Chill in refrigerator until firmly set, about 4 hours. To serve, dip gelatin mold into hot water to loosen the sides; place a plate on top of the mold, invert, and gently lift the mold from the salad.
