Broccoli Salad

Broccoli Salad

2 lbs. chopped broccoli 
2/3 cup mayonnaise
½ cup grated cheese 
¼ cup sucanat or rapadura
4 strips crumbled all natural (nitrite free) bacon 
4 tsp. vinegar
1 diced red onion

Fry the bacon until crispy; drain well and then crumble.  Add the bacon to the broccoli, onion, and cheese.  Mix the mayonnaise, sucant, and vinegar together in a small bowl and then pour that over the salad.  Toss well to evenly coat the broccoli.  Chill well before serving.

Warm weather is a great time to make summer salads for any occasion.  They’re healthy, quick to fix, and won’t heat up your kitchen.  All in all, they’re the perfect summer fare for any event you need to attend.
