Broccoli Salad with Turkey Bacon and Sharp Cheddar Photo Susie Iventosch
INGREDIENTS
6-8 cups chopped fresh broccoli, including florets and stems (one large bunch)
1 red onion, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 slices turkey bacon
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
Dressing
1/4 cup unfiltered cider vinegar
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon pepper
Salt and pepper to taste
Mix well in a jar with a tight-fitting lid.
DIRECTIONS
Heat oil in a sauté pan and cook onions over medium-high heat, until beginning to get brown and crispy. Set aside and cool to room temperature.
Cut broccoli into small, bite-sized pieces, including the florets as well as the stems. Put into a salad bowl.
Heat bacon in microwave for about 2-3 minutes, until it starts to get crispy. (Turkey bacon is pre-cooked, so this is just to crisp it up a bit.) Break into small pieces. Toss in with broccoli.
Add grated cheddar and toss all together with dressing.
Serve at room temperature along with some yummy bread!
