This is the first dish ever that got me to eat raw broccoli. Yes, it’s that good.
-
2 heads broccoli, cut into bite size pieces
-
6 green onions, diced
-
8 slices bacon, cooked crunchy and crumbled
-
¾ cup pecans, chopped
-
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
Toss together, then add:
-
1 cup mayonnaise (light mayo does well here)
-
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
-
Dash of your favorite hot sauce (optional)
-
¼ cup sugar or Splenda
-
1 tsp salt
-
Black pepper and garlic powder to taste
Stir until completely incorporated. Allow to chill for at least an hour.
