Broccoli & Bacon Salad Bar Salad

1. 1

   Chop broccoli into small, bite-sized florets.

2. 2

   In a large bowl toss together the broccoli, shredded carrot, chopped shallot, raisons and cashews.

3. 3

   Wisk together dressing ingredients in a separate container, preferably one with a lid (I use an old pickle jar-clean of course).

4. 4

   If using a jar just cover and shake well.

5. 5

   Pour half of the dressing over the broccoli mixture and combine.

6. 6

   Adding more as you see fit (if you like a wetter salad or a drier consistency).

7. 7

   Crumble the bacon over the top and chill for an hour.

8. 8

   You can also leave off the bacon and chill without it, then adding it just before serving.

9. 9

   The leftover dressing can be used for other salads like potato or macaroni.

10. 10

    Or maybe as a marinade for chicken before grilling it.
