Mum's Broccoli Salad

This broccoli salad is slightly unusual - and tasty, too !

This is a slightly unusual broccoli salad recipe of my Mum’s, which tastes wonderful !

The original recipe calls for you to use raw broccoli, but I prefer to lightly blanch or steam mine first. You can also swap the Cheddar cheese for another type of cheese if you prefer.

I don’t have a photo of this salad, so the one which you see is one of my Mum’s (yes, we’re weird like that and email each other photo’s of the food which we cook !) -:


Mum’s Broccoli Salad

2 cups Broccoli florets, cut into smaller pieces (lightly blanched/steamed & cooled)
3 tbsps Mayonnaise
3 tsps Sugar
½ cup Cheddar Cheese, grated
Black Pepper, freshly crushed
Salt (optional)

Blend the mayonnaise, sugar and cheese together and then add the broccoli florets to this, stirring to blend well. Taste for seasoning & add black pepper and salt to taste. Chill before serving.
