RECIPE: Broccoli Salad

I COMBINED THESE 3 RECIPES:

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/broccoli-salad-recipe/index.html

1 Bring a large pot of water, salted with a teaspoon of salt, to a boil. Add the broccoli florets. Cook 1-2 minutes, depending on how crunchy you want the broccoli. 1 minute will turn the broccoli bright green, and leave it still pretty crunchy. 2 minutes will cook the broccoli through, but still firm. Set your timer and do not cook for more than 2 minutes, or the broccoli will get mushy. Drain the broccoli and immediately put into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Let cool and drain.


Ingredients:

  • 5 to 6 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup raisins..I substituted with sweet corn
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup cooked, crumbled bacon..I substituted with beef jerky
  • 1/4 cup of red onion, chopped
  • 1 cup of frozen peas, thawed, optional...I could have used canned beans
  • .
  • Dressing:
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar, or to taste...or 1/4 cup honey

And this is the TicoFusion(tm) DELIGHT:

- Boil the broccoli
- It's hard to get good bacon in CR...so I used beef jerky
- No peas
