Addictive Broccoli Salad Recipe

When my friend gave me this recipe ...which granted is a little more work than most Broccoli Salads I have made, she told me it was addictive! Well only 2/3 of it made it to the table as I had to TASTE TEST several times. LOL My brother came over and I caught him swiping some more than once (guess he was tast testing too! ) before dinner.Here it is. Addictive Broccoli Salad Custard Dressing 1 egg lightly beaten 1/2 cup sugar 1 1/2 tsp cornstarch 1/4 cup vinegar 1/4 cup water Whisk together stirring constantly over medium heat until thickened (I add the egg last folding it into about a half cup of warm dressing first) so egg doesn't cook . Remove from heat, stir in 1 TBSP butter Cool slightly then stir in 1/2 cup Mayo (I like Hellmanns lower fat but not fat free Mayo) Chill. Toss together 4-6 cups fresh broccoli florets, 6 slices cooked and crumbled bacon,1/2 medium Vidalia onion diced. . **The last items are optional and dependant on taste and or occasion: 1 can drained Mandarin oranges 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms 1/2 cup slivered almonds 1/2 cup raisins Fold dressing into salad ingredients. Chill. Alliea Yield: serves 0
