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



Souplantation's Joan's Broccoli Madness Salad (Sweet Tomatoes) image

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.

LIBBIE'S CANNED SWEET TOMATOES



Libbie's Canned Sweet Tomatoes image

My boyfriend's family eats these. I've never had them. I just made a whole bunch and every time you mention them they smile. I guess they eat these like fruit. I serve them cold. I have also cooked with them as they are not overly sweet. When canning, amounts are estimates, sorry.

Provided by á-3514

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 C Broccoli florets
1/4 C Red onion; finely chopped
4-5 Slices Crumbled, crispy bacon
1/2 C Dry Roasted Cashew Pieces
1/3 C Raisins
1 C Mayonnaise
1/3 C Sugar
2 T Apple Cider Vinegar

Tips:

  • Choose the right tomatoes: Use ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they have a meaty texture and fewer seeds.
  • Cut the tomatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the tomatoes, make sure to give them enough space so that they can brown properly.
  • Season the tomatoes: Before cooking, season the tomatoes with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs or spices.
  • Cook the tomatoes over medium heat: This will help them caramelize and develop a rich flavor.
  • Don't overcook the tomatoes: Once the tomatoes have softened and browned, remove them from the heat. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Add the broccoli florets: Once the tomatoes are cooked, add the broccoli florets and cook until they are tender-crisp.
  • Toss the salad: Once the broccoli is cooked, toss the salad with the tomatoes, broccoli, dressing, and any other desired toppings.
  • Serve immediately: This salad is best served warm or at room temperature.

The roasted tomatoes and broccoli have a slightly sweet and smoky flavor, and the dressing is light and tangy. This salad is also very versatile, and can be made with a variety of different ingredients.
