FRESH BROCCOLI SALAD WITH CRAISINS AND PECANS image

Number Of Ingredients 10

¾ cup mayonnaise
• ¼ cup sugar (or 2 packages Splenda)
• 1 ½ tablespoons soy sauce
• 4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 2 (12-ounce) bags broccoli florets (about 8 cups)
• 1 cup golden raisins or Craisins
• 1 (11-ounce) can Mandarin oranges, drained (optional)
• ½ cup coarsely chopped pecans, toasted
• ½ cup sliced green onion
• 12 pieces bacon, cooked crisp and diced

Steps:

  • Bring 4 cups water to a rolling boil. Put the broccoli florets in a colander and pour the water slowly over them to blanch. When cool, break apart larger florets so they are all a similar size. Combine florets with Craisins and oranges, if using, and enough dressing to lightly coat. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Just before serving, fold in pecans, green onion and bacon.
