anna's broccoli salad |
|
Anna was my daughter's beloved daycare provider and is the epitome of generosity and extraordinary food. She exemplifies ohana--she took us all in and treated us like family. We would often pick up our daughter and come home with minestrone, lentil soup, apricot jam, even simple leftover Thanksgiving turkey sandwiches.
For this salad, don’t go gung-ho with the sugar. And don’t be afraid of bacon. Just don’t eat it every day.

Dice bacon and cook until really crispy. Drain away fat. Cut broccoli into very small pieces. All the elements of the salad should be about the same size. Combine bacon, nuts, raisins and broccoli. Toss with just enough mayonnaise to hold everything together. Add vinegar, and then slowly add sugar.
