Broccoli Salad with Bacon & Walnuts
Side Dish, Snack • Vegetable, Week 2, WILDFIT Spring
Ingredients
- 6 slices thick-cut bacon (cooked & crumbled)
- 1/4 of a medium red onion (chopped)
- 1 pound of broccoli (cut into bite-size pieces)
- 1 cup walnuts (toasted & coarsely chopped)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise (I use Primal Kitchen)
- 1 TBSP apple cider vinegar (can substitute balsamic or white
- vinegar)
- 1 TBSP Dijon mustard
- Salt & pepper to taste
Directions
- 1. In a small bowl stir together the mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard and a pinch of salt and pepper. Adjust acidity and seasoning to your taste. I actually added extra vinegar.
- 2. Pour dressing over the broccoli, onion and 1/2 the walnuts, mix well. Let stand at least 15 minutes before serving or keep refrigerated.
- 3. Just before serving, sprinkle the bacon and remaining walnuts on top.
Notes
- Doubled the dressing recipe to use as a dip for veggies.
- Soak onion in a small bowl of warm water for 10 minutes and drain. This tones down
- the raw onion flavor a little.
