Time 15m

Yield 2 servings.

1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
2 hard-boiled large eggs, chopped
1/2 cup sliced celery
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup dill pickle relish
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
Leaf lettuce, optional

Nutrition Facts : Calories 532 calories, Fat 28g fat (5g saturated fat), Cholesterol 222mg cholesterol, Sodium 1227mg sodium, Carbohydrate 51g carbohydrate (16g sugars, Fiber 13g fiber), Protein 21g protein.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. Look for crisp, tender broccoli, firm kidney beans, and thick-cut bacon.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it's tender-crisp, not mushy. Overcooked broccoli will lose its flavor and nutrients.
  • Use a good-quality mayonnaise: Mayonnaise is the base of the dressing, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a mayonnaise that's made with fresh, high-quality ingredients.
  • Season the salad to taste: The amount of salt and pepper you add will depend on your personal preferences. Taste the salad before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it's made. The longer it sits, the more the broccoli will wilt and the dressing will lose its flavor.

Conclusion:

Kidney Bean, Broccoli, and Bacon Salad is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make salad that's perfect for summer gatherings.
