Broccoli Salad

Description

Since summer is the height of summer BBQ season (and our 4th of July holiday is coming up next week), I decided to post a great summertime picnic salad.  This is one of my favorite salads… sweet, salty, crunchy, etc.

Ingredients

2 heads fresh broccoli (or 1 pound frozen broccoli, rinsed until thawed and drained well)

1 red onion

1/2 pound bacon

2 cups whole grapes (smaller ones) OR 3/4 cup raisins

3/4 cup sliced almonds or nuts of your choice (optional)

1 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup white sugar

2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

Directions

Place bacon in a deep skillet and cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Cool and crumble. Cut the broccoli into bite-size pieces and cut the onion into very thin bite-size slices. Combine with the bacon, raisins, your favorite nuts and mix well. To prepare the dressing, mix the mayonnaise, sugar and vinegar together until smooth. Stir into the salad, let chill and serve.

Grilled Corn Salad

Ingredients

6 ears freshly shucked corn

1 green pepper, diced

2 Roma (plum) tomatoes, diced

1/4 cup diced red onion

1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped, or more to taste

2 teaspoons olive oil, or to taste

salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat; lightly oil the grate. Cook the corn on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until the corn is tender and specks of black appear, about 10 minutes; set aside until just cool enough to handle. Slice the kernels off of the cob and place into a bowl. Combine the warm corn kernels with the green pepper, diced tomato, onion, cilantro, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper; toss until evenly mixed. Set aside for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend before serving.
