Broccoli Salad
Sounds great as I really like broccoli. On my to cook list. Not a cheap salad based on some of the ingredients. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
For the Salad
- 1 1/2 kilos fresh broccoli, about 3-4 heads
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 1 cup sunflower seeds, roasted
- 3/4 cup golden raisins
- 250 grams bacon, cooked crispy, crumbled
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
For the Dressing
- 1 cup mayo
- 1/3 cup sour cream, OR make from a shortcut
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 cup sugar, more to taste
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cut the broccoli into bite size pieces, including the stems. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook for 1 minute. Place broccoli in an ice bath or rinse with cold water to stop cooking, drain well.
- While the broccoli is draining, in a medium bowl, whisk together the Dressing ingredients.
- In a large bowl, add the broccoli and the remaining Salad ingredients. Pour the Dressing over the top and gently toss to coat all ingredients. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Chill the salad for several hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
Figure about 40 Baht/head for the broccoli. Going with 4 heads, as they are normally small, about 160 Baht. Figure 90 Baht for the cheese (about half a 250 gram block). Figure about 150 Baht/250 grams bacon. For 6 servings, this is about $1.96 per serving, not a cheap salad but it does sound good tasting.
Shortcut: Sour Cream.
