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.
