Best Broccoli Picnic Salad of all time (says my sis)

This salad is chock-full of good-for-you veggies and it's a pleasant departure from other ho-hum "healthy" picnic salads we are all used to.  This salad is fantastic as a side to your BBQ chicken or burger.  It's also yummy served on a bed of salad greens as a lunch or dinner or a hot day.  Or wrap it in a flat bread or pita with from fresh chicken breast for a super special sammy.

This batch serves 2-3

  • 1 medium broccoli florette with stem chopped into bite-size pieces (about 2 cups)
  • 1/2 medium onion diced (rinse diced onion under warm water if you don't want dragon breath)
  • 1/2 cup reduced fat mayo
  • 1 Tbs white wine vinegar
  • 1/2 Tbs white sugar
  • 6-8 pieces bacon-chopped(cooked until crispy)
  • 1/3-1/2 cup currants (or raisins but currants are better)

mix mayo, vinegar and sugar together in medium bowl until smooth.  Add everything else and stir until veggies are coated.  Refrigerate overnight then drive it around in a cooler until you get to your picnic.  This salad is best when shared with a friends

Happy eating!
