Broccoli Bacon Salad

Ingredients

  • 7 strips bacon, or more to taste
  • 2 bunches broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 egg, beaten

Instructions

Step 1

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; crumble.

Step 2

Combine bacon, broccoli, and raisins together in a plastic bowl with a tight-fitting lid.

Step 3

Combine cream, sugar, and flour together in a skillet over medium heat; cook, whisking constantly, until sugar and flour are dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly whisk vinegar into cream mixture until incorporated.

Step 4

Whisk about 1 tablespoon cream mixture and egg together in a bowl; add about 2 more tablespoons cream mixture until egg starts to warm. Whisk egg mixture into cream mixture in skillet; cook until dressing is thickened, about 5 more minutes.

Step 5

Fill a large bowl with ice and add water, creating an ice bath. Place skillet in ice bath to cool dressing.

Step 6

Pour dressing over broccoli mixture. Secure lid on bowl and shake until salad is evenly coated. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.
