Loaded Broccoli Salad

This is the broccoli salad you will get special requests for. The combination of bacon, sour cream, mayonnaise, scallions and Cheddar is hard to resist.

Ingredients

  • 3 slices bacon
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 4 teaspoons rice vinegar or cider vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 4 cups chopped broccoli
  • ½ cup sliced scallions
  • ½ cup shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Cook 3 slices of bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Reserve 1 tablespoon bacon fat. Chop the bacon when cool enough to handle.
  2. Whisk ¼ cup sour cream, ¼ cup mayonnaise, 4 teaspoons vinegar, ¼ teaspoon pepper and the reserved bacon fat together in a large bowl. Add 4 cups broccoli, ½ cup scallions, ½ cup cheese and the chopped bacon. Stir to coat with the dressing.
