Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Set up a bowl of ice water alongside. Add the broccoli to the pot and blanch for 1 to 2 minutes, just until bright green and crisp. With a slotted spoon, remove the broccoli to the ice water to shock. Drain well.
- Place the pancetta in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until crispy and browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels, reserving 1 tablespoon of the fat.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, use a rubber spatula to mix together the mascarpone, mayonnaise, cider vinegar and salt. Add the broccoli, pancetta, reserved fat, cranberries, walnuts and gorgonzola. Toss well to coat and combine.

[email protected]This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the night before my party and it was even better the next day. The flavors had time to meld together and the broccoli was even more tender.

Nickson Mwenda
[email protected]I'm not usually a fan of broccoli salad, but this one changed my mind. The dressing is perfect - not too sweet, not too tangy. And the broccoli is cooked just right - still has a little bit of crunch to it.
