If you want to "wow" the pickiest of eaters, or attempt to convince your children that broccoli is delicious, then this is the recipe you should turn to. This salad has been served at parties, delivered as part of a dinner, and regularly rotates through our menu. I have yet to meet someone who doesn't get seconds - including my husband who normally detests broccoli.
Broccoli, Almond and Cranberry SaladMakes 8-12 servings (depending on size)
10 oz bacon (nitrate & hormone free if you can find it), cooked until crispy
2 heads of broccoli, or 1.5 lb broccoli
3/4 c slivered or chopped almonds
1/2 c raisins or craisins
1/3 c rendered bacon fat or olive oil
1/4 c red wine or apple cider vinegar
Salt and Pepper to Taste
- While the bacon is cooking, get out a large bowl.
- Trim broccoli into bite sized pieces, taking of the tough part of the stem.
- Add the broccoli to the bowl, along with almonds and (c)raisins.
- Once bacon is cooled, chop or use your hands to crumble up the bacon and add it to the bowl.
- Mix bacon fat, vinegar, salt and pepper, and pour over broccoli.
- Toss everything to combine. Serve immediately, or wait until it’s cold. It’s good either way.

Hey, I'm planning on making this tonight...confused on the first 2 ingredients both broccoli. Is that a typo? Thanks!!!!
That was a major typo, and I am so sorry I am just now seeing your comment! The first ingredient was suppose to be bacon. Sorry I didn't get back to before dinner last night.
I've had this and can vouch for it's deliciousness! My husband, mother & I could not get enough of it when you brought it over during my recovery from surgery. Now that I have the recipe I'll have to make it for myself. :)
