BROCCOLI SALAD ♡

 

So yummy! Found the recipe on Pinterest and made it my own a bit by changing some ingredients :)

If you like broccoli you will love this.

It's originally a side dish but after making it I realized it would be amazing on top of a baked potato!


INGREDIENTS
 

• 1 head fresh broccoli, cut into bite size pieces
• 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
• 16 oz bacon cooked and chopped
• Sharp/cheddar cheese block, cut into small cubes
• Cherry tomatoes, cut in half
• 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise/mayo
 
 
 
 
DIRECTIONS
 
1. Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the broccoli, onion, tomatoes, and cheese. In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar and mayonnaise. Pour over broccoli mixture, and toss until well mixed. Refrigerate for at least two hours.
3. Before serving, toss salad with crumbled bacon.
 
 
 
 

 
 
This was after mixing everything (broccoli, onion, tomato, cheese) minus the bacon & sauce.
The sauce ingredients seemed odd to me at first but it is so good!
Try it!

CHICKEN SALAD ♡

I love chicken salad!

 Here's how I make mine. Way too simple

INGREDIENTS:
Chicken (i use chicken tenders, they're easier to cut after cooled)
Celery
Mayo
Bread

 

 I poach my chicken in water, but you can use stock if you want. You could also grill or cook your chicken however you like, I just like poaching it. When cooled small chop/dice your chicken and celery. I love the crunch so I kind of overdue it (so my bf says) when it comes to the celery.

 

 Pick up whatever mayonnaise and bread you like. I got 100% whole grain wheat. I love the little nuts in it!

Add a spoonful of mayonnaise at a time, you can always add more.

I add a generous amount of pepper and some celery salt to taste.

And that's it! Super simple and delish!
