BROCCOLI SALAD
This recipe for the best ever bacon, raisin and broccoli salad is slightly altered from one posted by Martha Carey in a site from Panama, "La Cocina Paraiso" (The Paradise Kitchen). It's a healthy dish, full of vitamins and antioxidants. I won't try to persuade you that it's better than ice cream, but given the choice, I might choose this scrumptious salad.

Steps:
- Cut off the broccoli heads, and separate into small florets.
- Steam in a microwave for four minutes.
- Bite a piece.
- It should be crispy-tender and bright green.
- Nuke for 1 minute at a time for 1 or 2 minutes more if required.
- Dump immediately into icy cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Remove into a colander and set aside to drain.
- Put cooking oil in a skillet.
- Chop bacon into tiny cubes and sauté on medium heat until crispy.
- Drain and spread onto a paper towel to blot more grease (You may fry bacon whole if you wish, drain, cool and then crumble fine).
- Make up the dressing.
- Add the chopped onion, crumbled bacon and raisins to the dressing and mix well.
- If you have a salad strainer, spin broccoli to remove more water.
- Place broccoli in a bowl, pour dressing over it and mix lightly.
- Refrigerate for 3 hours or more to chill and develop the flavors.
- This salad will keep well in the refrigerator for three days.
