Recipe: Broccoli Salad

One of our favorites - old recipe from pre-paleo, just need to find a paleo-mayo and good to go again!








Broccoli Salad 

Ingredients:

• 5 slices Bacon (need to include in cooking time)
• 2 head broccoli, cut into Florets
• 1/3 cup red seedless grapes, halved
• 2 large green onions, chopped
• 1/4cup and 3tablespoons Mayonaise
• 1tablespoon and 1 teaspoon Tarragon Vinegar
• 2TBL and 2tsp slivered almonds, toasted
• 1/3cup raisins

Place Bacon in large skilllet; Cook over medium heat til evenly browned, Drain, crumble and set aside. (I like to toss in 350 oven for 20minutes for entire package)

In large bowl combine the broccoli, grapes and onions.
 
Whisk Mayo and Vinegar together in separate bowl.  Toss with broccoli mixture and chill. (longer you chill the better the flavors mingle)
Just before serving, toss with bacon, almonds, raisins.
