Ingredients
1 cup homemade mayonnaise
2-3 tablespoons raw honey, Grade B Pure maple coconut / palm sugar
1-3 tablespoons unfiltered apple cider vinegar, preferably raw (may be omitted)
10 slices cooked bacon, cut or crumbled into bite-sized pieces
2 pounds of fresh broccoli (about 2-3 large crowns), rinsed well and cut into small florets about the size of a walnut or smaller (broccoli stems may be peeled and finely chopped)
1 cup nuts, chopped coarsely (try almonds or walnuts)
1/2 cup assorted raisins or dried fruit, or 1 cup cut up fresh fruit: grapes, cherries, blueberries, or chopped apples (optional)
Preparation
Combine mayonnaise and honey or maple syrup in a large bowl and mix well (adjust sweet-tart taste with cider vinegar).
Add bacon, broccoli, nuts, and dried fruit (it using) and mix until everything is evenly distributed and coated with dressing. Flavor is best if allowed to marinate in the refrigerator or on ice in a cooler at least a few hours.
