My sister-in-law's aunt makes a cold broccoli salad that all of them love. It's got bacon in it, so what's not to love? The only problem for me is that it features mayonnaise, which I can't eat, so I played with it a bit to replace the mayo with yogurt. I also decided to steam the broccoli slightly, since many people find it a bit easier to digest. And as long as I was changing everything else, I sauted the onions in the bacon grease rather than leaving them raw, and served it warm instead of cold.
So basically it's now a completely different dish. Oh well.
Warm Broccoli Salad
2 heads of broccoli, cut up
5 - 6 slices of bacon
1 sweet onion, chopped
1 c yogurt
2 T sugar
2 T red wine vinegar
1/2 c cheddar cheese, shredded
Steam the broccoli for 5 to 7 minutes. Fry the bacon and remove from the pan to drain. Saute the onions in some of the grease. Mix the yogurt, sugar, and vinegar in a cup. Add the onions and stir in. Sprinkle the broccoli with the shredded cheese and top with the yogurt sauce. Crumble the bacon on top of individual servings.
