My main objective is to bring you many delicious recipes and helpful hints that you can put to use in your own kitchen. I happen to love to cook and good food is one thing that I like to create. So here we go, get out your pots, pans, slow cookers, deep fryers, bread makers, baking paraphernalia or anything else you may have.
Let's get cooking Capreol.
Charlotte’s Broccoli Salad
My friend sent this recipe to me earlier this summer and it has fast become one of my favourites. It will keep in a container in your fridge for a few days. It has got such a delicious taste to it that I know you will get rave reviews every time you serve it. This recipe will serve 6.
Enjoy!
  • 4 cups of fresh broccoli, flowerets cut into bite size manageable pieces
  • ½ cup of celery diced
  • ½ cup of water chestnuts sliced

  • ½ cup of green onions sliced into ¼ inch; use some of the green ends

  • ½ cup of apple chunks

  • 1 cup of halved green grapes

  • 1 cup of halved red grapes

  • ½ cup of red onion that has been chopped and soaked in cold water for twenty minutes and drained

  • 8 to 12 slices of bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
  • ¾ cup of walnuts or pecans, toasted and coarsely chopped

  • 1½ cup of mayonnaise (not salad dressing as it will break down and weep too much in the salad

  • ¾ cup of sugar

  • 1 teaspoon of lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon of cider vinegar

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • In a large mixing bowl, add and toss together, the broccoli flowerets, celery, water chestnuts, green onions, green grapes, red grapes, apple, red onion, bacon, walnuts or pecans, and set aside.

  • Next in a medium mixing bowl, mix together and blend well the mayonnaise, sugar, lemon juice, cider vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste.

  • Pour the dressing mixture over the broccoli mixture and gently toss. Place in fridge for 3 hours before serving to allow the flavours to blend.

Enjoy!
