Yep, it’s been awhile since I posted a “Wow Me Wednesday” recipe. This will be worth the wait! LOL
Broccoli and Grape Pasta Salad (Originally from Southern Living) 6-8 servings
Ingredients – ADD a can of CHICKEN!!!!! YUM
- 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans (I just added pine nuts when ready to serve.)
- 8 ounces farfalle pasta
- 3 cups finely chopped broccoli florets
- 1 cup mayo (Best Foods is my choice)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/3 cup diced red onion
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups seedless red grapes, cut in half
- 6 cooked bacon slices, crumbled
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place pecans on baking sheet and toast in oven for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring half way through.
-
Prepare pasta according to package directions, cooking to al dente. Drain pasta and place in a large bowl.
-
In a medium bowl combine mayonnaise, sugar, red wine vinegar, red onion, and salt. Whisk well.
-
Add broccoli and grapes to the large bowl with pasta. Gradually add mayonnaise mixture (I added about 75% of the mayo mixture, then added the rest after it was chilled – it really soaks it up).
-
Cover and chill for 3 hours. Stir bacon and pecans into salad just before serving.
