I'm always on the lookout for picnic and party foods I can bring to a potluck, so I wanted to try and replicate some deli standbys. Two of my favorites are broccoli bacon salad and chicken curry salad. Both seemed easy enough, so I tinkered until I found a version that works for me and my dietary restrictions (No dairy or grains). The curry chicken was so good I ate most of it while I mixed it up, and forgot to write down measurements or take pictures, so stay tuned for that recipe next time, but here's the Broccoli Bacon Salad... it was a hit at last nights BBQ!
Broccoli Bacon Salad:2 bunches broccoli, florets cut small and stalks chopped
1 medium red onion, chopped
1/2 cup raisins
6-8 slices bacon, fried and crumbled
1 cup honey roasted sliced almonds (I found these at Trader Joes
Dressing:
1/4 cup bacon fat
1 cup mayonnaise (here's a good recipe for home made mayo)
2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tsp Manuka or another raw honey
Just combine salad ingredients; top with dressing mixture. Chill and serve.
