Broccoli salad

Ingredients:

8 strips of bacon

1 cup of Mayo

1/2 cup of sugar

2 tsp. of white vinegar

1-2 heads of broccoli

Directions:

First chop the broccoli heads only discarding the stem pieces.  Fry up the bacon and drain off the excess grease on some paper towels.  Allow the bacon to cool.  When cooled crumble up the pieces of bacon into tiny pieces and bits. 

In a separate bowl mix the mayonnaise, sugar and vinegar and then pour over the broccoli and bacon.  Mix and then serve.  Just like with the 6 ingredient salad, be sure and make this the day you plan on serving otherwise it will get soggy – nobody wants a soggy salad.  This recipe, as I stated earlier, is great for getting finicky kids to eat their vegetables.  Serve and enjoy.

Doesn't the 6 ingredient or layered salad look delicious?

This special salad recipe I craved everyday when I was pregnant.  I literally made it every 3 to 4 days and ate it every night for dinner.  I guess I could’ve craved a lot worse – and it was absolutely delicious!  Your family will love this 6 ingredient salad recipe also.  Hint – kids love this salad and it is a great way to get them to eat their vegetables!

Heavenly 6 ingredient salad

Ingredients:

1 head of shredded lettuce

1 head of cauliflower or broccoli in bite-size pieces

1 medium chopped onion

1 lb. bacon crumbled into pieces (or you can use 4 jars of Hormel Black Label real bacon bits)

8 oz. or 2 Cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 pint mayonnaise

1/4 C sugar

1/8 C vinegar

Mix the Mayo dressing and ingredients seperately in a bowl (1 pint Mayo, 1/4 C sugar, 1/8 C vinegar).  Put all the ingredients listed above (except the Mayo dressing and the shredded lettuce else the lettuce will wilt and not be soggy) in a salad bowl and mix well.  Then add the mayo dressing you just created.  Lastly add the shredded lettuce and toss the salad well. Serve immediately and enjoy.
