Broccoli Salad

12 ounces bacon cooked and chopped
½ cup almonds toasted, slivered
2 green onions thinly sliced

1 cup mayonnaise, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon celery seed

Assemble Broccoli Salad

Combine broccoli, bacon, toasted almonds, green onions, celery and grapes in a large serving dish. (To toast almonds, place on a large baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 3-5 minutes stirring in between. Do not walk away! They will burn easily. The almonds are toasted when they turn light brown.)
2 heads broccoli, 12 ounces bacon, ½ cup almonds, 2 green onions, 1 cup celery, 1 ½ cups red seedless grapes
Toss the dressing with the rest of the salad until evenly distributed. Refrigerate salad until ready to serve. (Dressing can be added at the last minute if desired.)

Notes

Storage Information

Leftover Broccoli Salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. After that, the broccoli starts breaking down and the texture is all wrong. I do not recommend freezing this salad.

The dressing can be made up to 3 days in advance. Simply whisk the ingredients together in a small bowl, transfer to an airtight container and chill until ready to use.

To toast almonds, place on a large baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 3-5 minutes stirring in between. Do not walk away! They will burn easily. The almonds are toasted when they turn light brown.
