Mandarin Roasted Broccoli Salad
- 2 eggs
- 13 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 14 cup white wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons water
- 12 cup mayonnaise
- 6 cups broccoli florets, cut slightly smaller than bite size
- 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms or 5 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced thin and then cut in half, about 10-12 pieces per small button mushroom
- 12 cup raisins
- 10 slices bacon, cooked and chopped small (I cook the bacon in the oven at the same time as the broccoli)
- 4 mandarin oranges, peeled and separated
- 12 small red onion, very thinly sliced
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- If you are cooking the bacon in the oven with the broccoli, now is the time to start it.
- You can spread it out on a large baking tray covered in foil and place it in the cold oven as you preheat it.
- 18-22 minutes later it should be done.
- Keep a close eye on the bacon towards the end of the cooking time.
- In a large bowl, drizzle olive oil lightly over the broccoli.
- Toss with your hands to coat.
- Spread out the broccoli in a single layer across a lightly greased or silpat lined baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with kosher salt.
- Roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until barely beginning to brown on the edges.
- The broccoli should be a bright green with a bit of crunch remaining.
- Let the broccoli cool completely before combining with the other salad ingredients.
- Make the dressing next, it will need to cool before tossing with the rest of the salad.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk eggs, sugar, arrowroot and mustard.
- Add the vinegar and water and whisk again.
- Cook until slightly thickened, stirring almost constantly.
- Remove from the heat and add the mayonnaise.
- Cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooled salad ingredients and then toss with the cooled dressing.
- This is delicious immediately, however it is even better after 3 or more hours rest in the refrigerator.
- Enjoy!
