This broccoli salad with grapes is a perfect salad for a hot summer day. The first time I tried it was at my aunt's 30-acre ranch outside of Dallas. The grapes and the bacon add an unexpected, but flavorful, twist. Add chopped cooked chicken to make this an entree.

BROCCOLI GRAPE SALAD



Broccoli Grape Salad image

I got this recipe from one of my close friends. She made this for one of our cookouts at Mineral Lake and everyone just fell in love with it. We all had to have the recipe and so I wanted to share it with everyone too. Noone would think that grapes would go with broccoli but it sure does. The dressing really sets off the salad. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Time 15m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 lbs fresh broccoli
1 red onion, chopped
1 lb bacon, cooked and chopped
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 lb green grape, sliced in half
1/2 lb red grapes, sliced in half
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Mix together broccoli,red onion,green and red grapes and rasins and set aside.
  • Mix together in a separate bowl mayonnaise,sugar and apple cider vinegar.
  • Add bacon and sunflower seeds just before serving.
  • Than add the dressing mix and stir to coat salad well.
  • NOTE: You may want to make two batches of the salad dressing depending on how much you like over your salads.
  • Chill the lefted overs if you have any lefted.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and crisp broccoli. Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green in color and tightly closed. Avoid crowns that are yellowing or have brown spots.
  • Use ripe grapes. The grapes should be plump and juicy. Avoid grapes that are wrinkled or have bruises.
  • Blanch the broccoli. Blanching helps to preserve the broccoli's color and crispness. To blanch the broccoli, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the broccoli is bright green and tender. Drain the broccoli and immediately plunge it into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Chill the salad before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and make the salad more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Broccoli and grape salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and refreshing flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
