TRISHA YEARWOOD'S BROCCOLI SALAD



Trisha Yearwood's Broccoli Salad image

This is from Trisha Yearwood's 1st cookbook, Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen that she wrote with her mom and sister. This is my husband's favorite broccoli salad. Trisha says "This is great served with barbecued pork ribs or prepared to take to a covered dish supper, because it's sturdy enough to stand at room temperature for a while without wilting. It also adds great color to a picnic spread." I've entered it as written, but we like to use red onion and golden raisins. Preparation time includes chilling time.

Time 2h

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 lb bacon
2 cups small broccoli florets
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup roasted sunflower seeds

Steps:

  • In a medium skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat just until crisp; drain on paper towels. When cool enough to handle, crumble the bacon and set aside.
  • Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and blanch until bright green and slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Drain well, run under cold water to stop the cooking, and drain again.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, vinegar, onion, sugar, and raisins. Add the broccoli and toss to coat with the dressing. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Just before serving, fold in the sunflower kernels and all but 2 tablespoons of the crumbled bacon. Sprinkle the reserved bacon over the salad to garnish. Serve immediately.

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 package ramen noodles, crushed, flavor packet discarded
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
1 head romaine lettuce, washed and dried
One 5-ounce bag baby spinach
1 pint strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced
1 cup grated Parmesan
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoons salt
2 cloves garlic, minced

Steps:

  • For the salad: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl, mix the ramen noodles, almonds, sunflower seeds and melted butter. Transfer to a baking sheet and toast in the oven, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
  • Tear the lettuce and combine with the spinach, strawberries and cheese in a large salad bowl.
  • For the dressing: Dissolve the sugar in the vinegar. Combine the oil, paprika, salt and garlic and then add to the sugar-vinegar mixture. Mix well and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • Just before serving, sprinkle the crunchy topping over the salad green and toss the salad with enough dressing to coat the greens.

Tips:

  • For a creamy and flavorful dressing, use high-quality mayonnaise and sour cream.
  • Freshly chopped broccoli florets are best for this salad, but you can also use frozen broccoli that has been thawed and drained.
  • Add a variety of chopped vegetables to your salad, such as carrots, celery, red onion, or bell pepper.
  • Toasted almonds or walnuts add a nice crunch to the salad.
  • For a sweeter salad, add a sprinkle of dried cranberries or raisins.
  • If you like a tangy salad, add a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to the dressing.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later.
