Broccoli Bacon Salad

This is a sweet and tangy salad with broccoli, raisins, and bacon. There’s never any left when I make it for guests.

INGRIDIENT

7 strips bacon, or more to taste

2 bunches broccoli, cut into florets

½ cup raisins

1 cup heavy whipping cream

⅔ cup white sugar

1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour

3 tablespoons white vinegar

DIRECTION

Step: 1

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; crumble.

Step: 2

Combine bacon, broccoli, and raisins together in a plastic bowl with a tight-fitting lid.

Step: 3

Combine cream, sugar, and flour together in a skillet over medium heat; cook, whisking constantly, until sugar and flour are dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly whisk vinegar into cream mixture until incorporated.

Step: 4

Whisk about 1 tablespoon cream mixture and egg together in a bowl; add about 2 more tablespoons cream mixture until egg starts to warm. Whisk egg mixture into cream mixture in skillet; cook until dressing is thickened, about 5 more minutes.

Step: 5

Fill a large bowl with ice and add water, creating an ice bath. Place skillet in ice bath to cool dressing.

Step: 6

Pour dressing over broccoli mixture. Secure lid on bowl and shake until salad is evenly coated. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.
