Broccoli Orange Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

DRESSING
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup mayonnaise (use mayo not salad dressing)
1 pinch garlic powder (optional)
SALAD
4 cups fresh broccoli florets, washed and very well drained (I do this hours in advance or even a day ahead to make certain that the broccoli is well drained)
1 cup raisins
10 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
2 1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1/3 - 1/2 cup slivered toasted almond (or to taste)
1 large orange (peeled and cut into pieces)
1 small red onion, sliced

Preparation

For the dressing: in a saucepan, whisk together the eggs, sugar, cornstarch and the dry mustard.
Add/whisk in vinegar and water; cook on low heat until thickened.
Remove from heat, add/stir in the mayonnaise and garlic powder (if using) cool well.
To make the salad: marinate broccoli in the dressing for about 3-4 hours.
Add in the remaining salad ingredients; toss well to combine.
DELICIOUS!
