Broccoli Swiss Cheese Salad
This salad is similar to a popular deli salad; to make it identical, add some golden raisins.
SERVES 4–6
INGREDIENTS
- 1 pound fresh broccoli
- 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
- 3 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
- ½ cup honey mustard salad dressing
- ½ cup cubed Swiss cheese
Cut florets from broccoli, and cut stems into 2-inch pieces.
Place in heavy saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 6 to 8 minutes, until broccoli is crisp-tender. Drain well and place in serving bowl.
Add mushrooms and bacon; toss gently. Drizzle with salad dressing and toss again.
Sprinkle with cheese and serve.
Salad Substitutions
Salad recipes are made for substituting! Just about any vegetable can be substituted for another. Crumble cauliflower florets into a salad in place of mushrooms, slice crisp jicama as a substitute for bell peppers, and use blanched asparagus in place of green or wax beans (and vice versa!).
