Broccoli Salad

Broccoli Salad


This recipe is a combination of different recipes I have seen online for a salad of this kind.  I added some ingredients and left some out based on my own tastes and come up with this recipe.  It's awesome, filling and brightly coloured.  I would recommend serving it just warm.



Ingredients:
Broccoli
Mayonnaise
1tbl olive oil
1/4 red onion
2 garlic cloves
2tbl white wine vinegar
1 tsp sugar
pepper
salt
bacon/salami
pinenuts




Method:
Chop the broccoli up into tiny pieces. I used about two heads of broccoli to serve two people.
Blanch the broccoli in boiling water for no more than 60 seconds, take out and immediately rinse under cold water.

Use a bamix/shredder to finely churn up the garlic and onion.  Mix in with the oil and vinegar.
Place in a large salad bowl and add chopped up salami or cooked bacon (I didn't put a measurement next to it because really it's optional. You could put just a little bit in for flavour or put quite a bit in - the choice is yours).  Throw in about 3 tbl of mayo, the sugar, pepper, salt and about 3tbl of pine nuts.
Add the broccoli whilst it's still warm because it will make it easier to mix everything together.



As an addition you might like to sprinkle some shaved cheese over the top before serving. I recommend a very tart vintage cheddar. Mercy Valley is an excellent brand for crumbling over dishes.
