Broccoli Salad

Broccoli salad is usually made with bacon. Since I never buy bacon, I decided to try this recipe with hard boiled eggs instead. The rich texture from the eggs give this salad a great taste. You can easily bring this salad to a potluck or picnic.

Ingredients

4 hard boiled eggs, cut into bite size pieces
1 head fresh broccoli, cut into bit size pieces
1/4 cup red onion, chopped
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons maple syrup or sugar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper


Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine broccoli, onions, raisins and pumpkin seeds.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, garlic, balsamic vinegar, sugar, oregano, salt and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
3. Pour dressing over broccoli mixture and toss until well mixed. Refrigerate for about 3 hours before serving (this allows broccoli to become tender).
4. Sprinkle a small handful of pumpkin seeds before serving, to give it an extra crunch.
