Broccoli Salad

I can't believe a whole week has gone by without posting a single recipe. I felt as if the week would never end with five whole days of teaching, Back to School Night and a week of recess duty with no break all rolled into one. Thank goodness I have a 3 day weekend to recoup. We're having burgers tonight and I thought Broccoli salad would make a nice side. Bjorn and Chris have gone out to run a few errands but I'm afraid there won't be any salad left if they don't make it back PDQ. This is one darn good salad!


Serves 6

3 large broccoli crowns cut into small pieces
1/3 cup diced red onion
1/3 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds
4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup fat-free plain greek yogurt
1/2 cup light mayo
1/4 rice vinegar
salt and pepper

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and boil the broccoli for 3 minutes. Drain off the cooking liquid and place the broccoli in a large bowl half filled with cold water and ice-cubes. Let the broccoli cool in the ice water while you prepare the dressing. In a medium bowl, mix together the yogurt, mayo, vinegar, salt and pepper. Drain the broccoli well. Add it to the raisins, onion and almonds in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over all and toss gently to coat. Serve
