Brocolli Salad


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 (I used roasted poppy 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 eggs, 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.

Note: i used black vinegar and didn't like it...unless one has white/rice/balsamic vinegar....avoid putting vinegar...its pungent makes one not like it.
I even added 1/4 tsp of red chilly for taste.
This dish generally uses bacon....so if u eat it u can use it instead of eggs
