Ingredients
Dressing:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- ¼ cup white wine or red wine vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- ¼ cup water
- ½ cup plain yogurt or mayonnaise
Salad:
- 4-5 cups broccoli florets chopped
- 8 lices Bacon cooked, drained and chopped
- ½ cup slivered almonds toasted
- ¼ - ½ cup finely diced red onion
- ½ cup craisins
- 1 (10-ounce) (10-ounce) can mandarin oranges drained well
Instructions
- For the dressing, combine the eggs, cornstarch, vinegar, salt, sugar, mustard, and water together in a medium saucepan. Whisk well. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it bubbles and thickens - it should be the consistency of pudding (take care not to heat too high or stop whisking or there might be small bits of cooked egg in the mixture).
- Remove from heat and let cool 10 minutes. Stir in the yogurt or mayonnaise and let cool completely.
- Toss all the salad ingredients together in a large bowl. Stir in the dressing and toss lightly until all the ingredients are covered with dressing.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours before serving.
