Ingredients

Bodacious Broccoli Salad

  • 1 bunch broccoli, chopped into bite-size pieces
  • 8-18 strips bacon, fried crisp and crumbled
  • ¾ cup raw pepitas
  • ½ medium red onion, minced
  • 5-6 mini sweet peppers
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Chipotle Mayo Dressing

Instructions

Chipotle Mayo Dressing

  • Add all ingredients to a food processor or blender, and process/blend until combined.

Bodacious Broccoli Salad

  • Add all of the ingredients to a bowl. Add about half or so of the dressing and stir.
  • Assess the level of dressed-ness, and add more, a bit at a time, until you achieve the dressing level desired. Stir until combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

Best eaten the day of, but also fantastic the next day.
Instead of mini sweet peppers, bell peppers of any color make a great substitute.
Add some jalapeno peppers or red pepper flakes to kick up the heat.
