Equipment

  • cutting board
  • sharp knife
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • Grater I love the rotary cheese grater, makes grating cheese effortless!
  • Whisk

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup Apple cider vinegar
  • cup mayo
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 6-8 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • ½ cup sharp cheddar cheese grated off the block
  • ½ cup Mozzarella cheese grated off the block
  • 8 strips bacon cooked and crumbled

Instructions

  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, apple cider vinegar, mayo, salt and pepper until well blended.
  • Place the broccoli, cheese, and bacon in a large bowl and toss to mix.
  • Pour the dressing over top, and then gently stir thoroughly so the dressing is well distributed.
  • Chill and serve.

Notes

 
  • You can use regular sugar in place of honey if desired. White wine vinegar or red wine vinegar can be substituted for apple cider vinegar.
  • Freshly grated cheese yields the best flavor.
  • This dressing is not overly sweet, however, if you prefer a less sweet dressing, you can cut the honey back by a tablespoon. Some is needed to balance out the vinegar.
  • If you like your broccoli a bit more tender, you can blanch it. See the post for the how-to.
  • I recommend cooking bacon in the oven for the easiest most hands off way. See the post for details.
