Hello Tempt My Tummy pals! I've missed posting the past few weeks but have been stalking your recipes when I have time and yummmy! I love all the holiday recipes.
Tonight I actually get to join the land of grown ups and go to a Christmas Party! My husband has been out of town for a few weeks on business and I have missed the adult interaction! I wanted to post a recipe I shared last year because I am taking this tonight to the party. We are having a traditional Texas Christmas party... Bar-B-Q. I'm really looking forward to it. The meat is from ledgendary Cooper's BBQ and we are all bringing the sides. I'm bringing this great Broccoli Salad. I love it! I originally saw Paula Deen make a version of it and I've modified it a bit. How great will that be? Now, for you non-Texas folks... I hope you understand how much we love our beef bbq. Lisa, I hope you are not too jealous now that you are up in pork bbq St. Louis land....
mmmm I can hardly wait...I'm sure someone will be bringing some 'Nana Puddin' cuz it goes so good with the bbq.
Merry Christmas Y'all!
Now to go find a great (really bad) white elephant gift. This group gives some doosies... last year a bottle of laxatives and expired vitamins were amoung the gifts... ;-)Broccoli Salad and dressing
Ingredients
1 head of broccoli. cut individual heads off
1 cup of small grape tomatoes - cut in half
1 1/2 cups cubes colby cheese
1/2 small red onion chopped
1/4 cup real bacon pieces chopped
optional additions:
raisins
craisins
broccoli slaw
Dressing
1/4 cup mayo
2-3 Tbsp Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp Red Wine vinegar
1-3 packets of splenda or sugar substitute of your choice
*mix the ingredients of the dressing together. All is to taste. You may want it sweeter... you may like it with more vinegar, honestly, PLAY with it. I also LOVE this on a green salad. It is my go to dressing.
Pour dressing over all the salad ingredients and let it sit overnight in the fridge. Serve the next day!
