Courtesy of my sis - this is really yummy!
The quantities (as follows) will make a reasonable amount if you have to take it somewhere:
2 large heads of broccoli (I use 3 if for a larger crowd, or if the heads are small) 1 red onion - sliced Chopped bacon - as much or as little as you want 1 cup peas (run under hot water to thaw) Toasted sliced almonds
Dressing: 3/4 - 1 cup of mayo (I use Best Foods or Pams) Dessert spoon - 1 Tbsp of honey (add more if you need it - if you put to much in just add more mayo or vinegar) Balsamic vinegar - i just add it to taste
Method: Fry off chopped bacon, set aside. Boil a pot of well salted water and then add broccoli. Don't cook for long because it still needs to be crunchy. Blanch in an ice bath to stop cooking process - just cold water with lots of ice. Compile salad by draining broccoli once cold, onion, peas and half of the toasted almonds. Add dressing. Mix. Then top with the rest of the almonds. Keep in the firdge until needed, but I think it tastes nicer at room temperature.
