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.
Combine in serving bowl or platter with mayonnaise, bacon and pine nuts.

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.
