Marties Broccoli Salad With Bacon And Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Toss broccoli, cooked bacon, Cheddar cheese, and onion together in a resealable container. Mix mayonnaise, sugar, and cider vinegar together in a separate container until well blended. Refrigerate both until chilled, 30 minutes or up to 1 week.
• Just before serving, add dressing to the salad and toss to coat.

Steps:

• For the dressing: Whisk together the mayo, sugar and vinegar in a large bowl.
• For the salad mix: Toss the broccoli, cheese, pecans, cranberries, green onions and bacon in a large bowl. Fold in the dressing until mixed thoroughly. Enjoy.

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and let cool enough to handle, 5 to 10 minutes. Crumble.
• Combine crumbled bacon with broccoli, sunflower seeds, and red onion in a large bowl.
• Mix mayonnaise, sugar, and vinegar together in a separate bowl. Pour over broccoli mixture and mix together. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, and crumble.
• In a large bowl, combine broccoli, cheese, bacon and onion.
• Prepare the dressing in a small bowl by whisking together the red wine vinegar, sugar, pepper, salt, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Combine dressing with salad. Cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of generously salted (use about 1/2 cup kosher salt) water to a boil. Set up an ice bath next to the stove and generously salt (about 1/4 cup kosher salt) that water as well.
• Cut the broccoli stems from the heads; slice the florets into small pieces, each about 1-inch long. Peel the stems with a peeler and cut each stem in half lengthwise, then slice into 1/2-inch-thick half-moons. Add broccoli to the boiling water and blanch for 30 seconds; transfer to the ice water to shock the broccoli and stop the cooking. Drain broccoli in a colander, then set aside (still in the colander) to drain completely.
• In a large dry skillet, toast pecans over medium heat until they smell nutty, about 1 minute; remove pecans and set aside. Return skillet to medium heat and add bacon and oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until bacon has rendered its fat and is crispy, about 10 minutes. Turn heat to low and whisk in mustard and vinegar. Add green onions and pecans and season generously with black pepper.
• In a large bowl, combine broccoli and grapes. Pour the contents of the skillet into the bowl and toss to combine; season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the cheddar and toss right before serving.
