Cowgirl-approved broccoli salad, a hit with even the pickiest eaters. A must-try dish that vanished in no time among ranchers in Cody.
Ingredients:
  • 2 large heads of broccoli
  • 6 rashers of higher-welfare smoked streaky bacon
  • olive oil
  • 3 firm red tomatoes
  • ½ a bunch of fresh chives (15g, with flowers if you can get them)
  • ½ a clove of garlic
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
Instructions:
  • - Use a small knife to remove the broccoli florets and cut them into smaller pieces. Discard the thick dry base of the stalk, then slice the remaining stalk in half lengthways. - Blanch the broccoli florets and sliced stalk in boiling salted water for 60 seconds to soften them. - Drain and steam dry the broccoli on a clean tea towel. Transfer to a serving dish. - Slice the bacon finely and fry until crisp. Sprinkle most of the bacon bits over the broccoli. - Use the leftover bacon fat in the pan for the dressing. Pour it into a mixing bowl, add grated garlic and other dressing ingredients, then season and whisk. - Slice and deseed the tomatoes, chop the chives, and add them to the broccoli and bacon. - Dress the salad well and adjust seasoning if needed. - Sprinkle chive flowers on top and serve immediately. Enjoy on its own or as a side dish with grilled or roasted meat or fish.
