A lot of kids aren’t huge vegetable fans, but a recent poll of middle school students revealed that this generation not only likes broccoli but also prefers it to other more traditionally kid-friendly vegetables. Here is one way to get your kid to eat broccoli.
Ingredients
- 10 slices bacon, crisply fried and crumbled
- 1 cup golden raisins
- 1 1/2 lbs fresh broccoli florets mixed with broccoli slaw
- 1 small red onion, chopped fine
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise or less if preferred
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar or the Splenda equivalent
- 2 tbsp white vinegar
- 1 cup chopped pecans - sunflower - almonds - walnuts or the nut of your choice
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, pour boiling water over raisins; let stand for 10 minutes, drain & cool.
Step 2
Mix broccoli, cooked crisp bacon, raisins, pecans and onion together in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
Step 3
In a small bowl, blend mayonnaise, sugar/splenda and vinegar.
Step 4
Pour mayonnaise mixture over broccoli mix; mixing well.
Step 5
Cover & chill for 2 hours before serving.
I have a bottle of Light Raspberry & Walnut dressing by Paul Newman that is awesome with this instead of the mayo, sugar & vinegar dressing.
