BROCCOLI SALAD WITH CHEDDAR AND WARM BACON VINAIGRETTE



Broccoli Salad With Cheddar and Warm Bacon Vinaigrette image

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.

Categories     salads and dressings, vegetables, side dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt
1 bunch broccoli (about 1 1/4 pounds), ends trimmed
1/2 cup pecan halves
4 ounces bacon, diced
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
4 green onions, white and light green parts only, chopped
Black pepper
1 cup halved red seedless grapes
4 ounces aged white cheddar, sliced thin and crumbled

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.

CHICKEN & BROCCOLI BOW-TIE PASTA SALAD



Chicken & Broccoli Bow-Tie Pasta Salad image

From Kraft foods with some modifications. A nice main meal salad. This can be made ahead and served chilled as a cold salad or made and served immediately as a hot salad. I prefer the hot salad. (Kraft recommends using 6 oz of their grilled chicken strips but I prefer fresh chicken over packaged - use what you are most comfortable serving). ***Update*** Based on the review I wanted to let you know what I took out of the original recipe - it called for 1/2 c sliced olives. I was thinking if you want a really strong flavor - try a very Zesty Italian Dressing or saute your chicken with garlic and add chopped onions to the final dish. Maybe that would perk it up for those that like things a bit spicier. The original way is a method in which my kids will eat it but I understand how adults may want a bit more zing.***

Categories     Vegetable

Time 22m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups farfalle pasta, uncooked (bow-tie)
2 cups fresh broccoli florets
1 lb cooked chicken (cut into strips)
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup zesty light Italian dressing
1/4 cup sharp light cheddar cheese (shredded or crumbled)
1/4 cup monterey jack cheese (shredded or crumbled)
1/4 cup parmesan cheese (grated)

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to directions.
  • Add broccoli to the cooking water of the pasta during the last 4 minutes of the pasta cooking time.
  • Drain pasta and broccoli.
  • Toss chicken, tomatoes, dressing, monterey and cheddar cheese together in a large salad bowl.
  • Add pasta mixture; mixing lightly.
  • Sprinkle top with parmesan cheese.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli crowns or florets that are a deep green color and have tightly closed florets. Avoid broccoli that is yellowing or has loose, open florets.
  • Cut the broccoli into bite-sized pieces: This will help the broccoli cook evenly and make it easier to eat.
  • Blanch the broccoli: Blanching the broccoli in boiling water for a few minutes helps to preserve its color and nutrients. Be sure to drain the broccoli thoroughly after blanching.
  • Use a variety of ingredients: Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients in your broccoli salad. Some popular additions include bacon, cheese, nuts, and dried fruit.
  • Dress the salad with a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really brings a broccoli salad together. Be sure to use a dressing that is flavorful and complements the other ingredients in the salad.
  • Chill the salad before serving: Chilling the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving helps to allow the flavors to meld and develop.

Conclusion:

Broccoli salad is a delicious, versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or main course. It's a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it's also a popular dish to serve at potlucks and picnics. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a broccoli salad recipe that everyone will enjoy.
