This recipe has been a hit at every potluck, picnic & tailgate party I have taken it to. It goes together quickly and holds up well in an ice chest.

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb broccoli, florets only
2 (15 ounce) cans dark red kidney beans
1 red onion, sliced
1/2 lb bacon, thick sliced
6 ounces ranch dressing (your favorite brand)
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Steam the broccoli until just tender, then rinse until cold water to stop cooking. It should be bright green, not cooked grey! Drain well on paper towels.
  • Rinse the kidney beans under cold running water, drain well and add to the broccoli in a large mixing bowl.
  • Slice the onion about 1/8" thick then cut the rings into segments 1/2" to 1" or so.
  • Cook the bacon until crisp then drain well and coarsely chop.
  • Add the bacon and onion to the broccoli and kidney beans, mixing well while moistening with the ranch dressing. Don't add so much ranch dressing that it becomes soupy.
  • Salt and pepper to taste.
