This a hearty meat and vegetable salad: two pounds of maple flavored bacon make it very filling. It's a meal in itself! Ingredients:
2 pounds bacon |
1 large head fresh broccoli, chopped |
3/4 cup chopped celery |
1/4 cup minced green onions |
1/4 cup diced red onion |
1 1/2 cups seedless grapes, halved |
3/4 cup blanched slivered almonds |
1/4 cup white sugar |
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar |
1 cup mayonnaise |
Directions:
1. Place bacon in a large skillet. Cook, turning frequently, over medium high heat until evenly browned. Cool, and then crumble.
2. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Spread slivered almonds on a cookie sheet. Bake for approximately 12 to 14 minutes or until lightly browned, turning once during toasting. Cool.
3. In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sugar, and vinegar. Set aside.
4. In a large bowl, combine broccoli, crumbled bacon, celery, green onions, red onions, grapes, and toasted almonds. Toss with mayonnaise dressing. Chill for several hours in the refrigerator.
