Ingredients
for the dressing
- 1 cup mayo (I use Duke's; Mom always loved Hellman's)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 pinch of salt
for the salad
- 1 cup broccoli trimmed florets
- 1 cup green and red grapes, cut in halves or quarters
- 2 ribs celery, chopped
- 1/2 cup slivered or sliced almonds
- 4 strips crispy cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 green onion, very thinly sliced
Instructions
prepare the dressing
- Whisk all of the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl, and set aside.
prepare the salad
- Toss the broccoli, grapes, celery, almonds, and crumbled bacon together in a medium bowl.
- Fold in the dressing a little at a time until the salad is coated (you might not use all of it; if not, save it, too).
- Refrigerate the salad for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight. (Refrigerate the green onions and any extra dressing, too.)
- Before serving, toss to recoat the salad. Add the extra dressing, if you had any leftover and the salad seems dry. Sprinkle the green onions over the top.
