SOUPLANTATION'S JOAN'S BROCCOLI MADNESS SALAD (SWEET TOMATOES)

I had this at a chain salad bar style restaurant in FL called Sweet Tomatoes and found it online. Souplantation is another name for the chain. It was yummy. I make bacon in the microwave to save time and for easy clean up. If you use precooked bacon bits, this is a no-cook recipe. I think freshly crisped bacon is best but the other will do.

Categories     Side

Yield 6 to servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 bunch uncooked broccoli, cut into florets
1/2 cup crumbled cooked bacon
1/2 cup cashews
1/3 cup raisins
1/4 cup chopped red onion
DRESSING
1 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Mix the broccoli, bacon, cashews, raisins and onions in a large bowl. In a second bowl, beat dressing ingredients together gently until smooth. About 10 minutes before serving, toss the salad with the dressing to allow flavors to meld. Serve on chilled salad dishes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The best broccoli salad is made with fresh, crisp broccoli. Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green and have tightly closed florets. Avoid broccoli that is wilted or has yellow or brown spots.
  • Cut the broccoli into small florets: This will help the broccoli to absorb the dressing and make the salad 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. Immediately remove the broccoli from the boiling water and plunge it into a bowl of ice water. This will stop the cooking process and help the broccoli to retain its color.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the salad.
  • Add your favorite toppings: This salad is delicious with a variety of toppings, such as crumbled bacon, chopped nuts, or grated cheese. Get creative and experiment with different toppings to find your favorite combination.

Conclusion:

Broccoli salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its crunchy broccoli, creamy dressing, and flavorful toppings, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or party.
