Ingredients
For the salad
- 6 Bacon sliced into small pieces, rashers
- oil of your choice for cooking the bacon
- 2 broccoli thoroughly washed, small to medium heads
- 1 apple
- 1 lemon
- 1 onion chopped finely, smallish
- 3.5 ounces cheddar cheese grated, strong
- peanut about 2 handfuls, salted
- raisin optional, 1 handful
- black pepper freshly ground
For the dressing
- 3/4 cup Greek yoghurt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Fry the bacon in the oil until cooked through (and crispy if you like), then set aside.
- Discard the ‘woody’ end part of the broccoli stalk, then chop the rest of the stalk finely. Then separate the broccoli heads into small florets. Put the florets and chopped stalk into a large bowl.
- Slice the apple (no need to peel) into small pieces and put them into a small bowl. Squeeze the juice of the lemon all over the apple, then add the apple and any extra juice to the large bowl with the broccoli.
- Now add the onion, cheese and peanuts.
- Stir all of the dressing ingredients together well in a medium-sized bowl, then add to the salad. Add black pepper to taste. Mix really well.

Notes
- You could substitute the apple for grapes and the peanuts for pecans or walnuts if you like.
