I have recently read a diet and health article on BBC News. My diet is actually quite in line with that article, but I still started to look into extra ways to introduce more broccoli into my diet. Now, Whole Foods has this prepared salad they call “Broccoli Crunch” that both my girlfriend and I like very much, but at $9 dollars a pound it really bites. So, I decided to reverse engineer their recipe and tweak it a little bit. E.g., theirs has bacon in it. I really don’t need no stinking bacon in my salad, y’know.
So, here is my open source “Broccoli Crunch” recipe. I’m really glad there is no patents on food recipes. If the food industry was like the software industry, I would be in jail within minutes of publication of this blog post. It’s not the first time I reverse engineer an expensive restaurant’s recipe, y’know.
2 broccoli crowns, chopped.
Half an onion, diced.
2 heaping teaspoons of sugar dissolved in 1 oz of apple cider vinegar.
As much mayo as you have in the house. Or to taste.
Mix everything thoroughly in a salad bowl.
Add a handfull of dried cranberries and a handfull of roasted, salted cashews. Mix again.
Crunch, crunch, crunch.
