Raw Broccoli, Bacon and Pine Nut Salad

Tired of the same old boring salads? Then give this a try. Janice R's famous Broccoli Salad.  Any family event when you need to bring a dish Janice is always picked for her Broccoli Salad.  The small florets of raw Broccoli give this a peppery edge, rounded off by the creamy mayonnaise and salt from the bacon. Full of crunch.

Ingredients

I medium head of broccoli
2 x rashers of bacon
2 tablespoon of good quality mayonnaise
1 x red onion or 2 small pink eshallots
2 dessertspoons of pine nuts
Oil

Method

Toast the pine nuts in a small frying pan. Remove and cool
Add oil to the pan and fry finely diced bacon
Cut the broccoli into fine florets, add diced red onion or eshallots.

Note: Just add sufficient mayonnaise to coat, it will depend on how much broccoli you have. I substituted peanuts for the pine nuts and was equally delicious.
