Broccoli Salad Recipe

Broccoli Salad recipes are delicious and can be nutritious. A real “super food” broccoli is chock full of nutrition, antioxidants and flavor. This recipe is also an easy way to get more vegetables in your diet. I’ve got to admit, the dressing isn’t too healthy – but it is delicious. Try no-fat mayo, light cheese and leave out the bacon for a more healthy option. You can make this salad with raw broccoli or blanch it a bit to hold the color and soften the florets. If you don’t like raw broccoli blanch the broccoli for 1 minute or so. But be careful to not leave the broccoli in the water too long. This recipe pairs broccoli, bacon and a dressing to make a sweet and sour salad that’s a great side dish or meal all on its own.

    hello, great video clip – You explain things very well n cover all areas – many never mention (as a alter or substitute) or like how long to cook n what temp n or boil for aprox how long. I only have one ejective n that is the 1/2 cup of sugar in the dressing / ruin the recipe for me

    well,im shure it must taste really good..
    But i eat salads to eat fresh, If i put bacon and that creepy cheddar in a bag,theres no reason to make a salad anymore rsrs

  10. Muaaaaaa says:

    Rita – I just discovered your videos and I love them! You can bet I will be trying this recipe – I love broccoli but have gotten tired of the simple sautee I usually make as a side dish. Planning on using turkey bacon – I am sure it will be delicious!

    No. You have to use bacon or you can’t make it.

    i make this recipie—low fat version. you can use bacon-bits which is healthier than bacon, or try center cut bacon, i also add cranraisins and add celery seed for extra flavor.

    I used soy cheese and mayo because im vegan and just forgot the bacon because the soy alternative is terrible. This is no side dish for me its good enough for a meal :)
