Just because it's now autumn doesn't mean that it's time to put the salads away. We just need to find creative ways to eat a bowl of warm veggies. I usually like a warm pasta salad, or even a warm potato salad for lunch or dinner, but what about a Warm Broccoli and Mushroom Salad? I usually throw those veggies into my stir fry wok, so why not make a quick salad instead? This Golden Blossom Honey recipe has been sitting in my "to make" folder since the beginning of summer just waiting for the temperatures to drop before giving it a try.
This salad can be served as either a side dish or as a full meal. Aside from the bacon, which can be left out to make this a vegetarian meal, this salad is nutritious, packed with fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins to help support a healthy immune system, which is important as we start inching towards cold and flu season. And, as the holidays are hot on our heels, it's always so easy to reach for all of the tempting treats, but by eating this salad first, it will be so much easier to consume sweets minimally. And in my opinion, it's much better than the carb or sugar heavy foods anyway, so it's a no-brainer to keep this recipe on hand throughout the cooler months ahead.
Ingredients
1 head of broccoli
5 slices of bacon, chopped
1 medium onion, diced
4 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 Tablespoons GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY
1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced

What warm weather salads are your favorite?
Looks extremely pretty, you made a very inviting and warm photo setting on the table.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I cannot remember when was the last time I ate warm food, probably ten years ago.
By choice or you just don't want to share a kitchen with the rest of the house dwellers?
DeleteI would try that but I really prefer my broccoli to be roasted to a crisp in the oven.
ReplyDeleteI love broccoli, but charred is one of the few ways that I skip eating it. Raw or steamed is usually my preference, but lightly baked I'll take too.
DeleteI'm going to have to try this one because that sounds good and it fits with my diet.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on sticking with your diet this long. You're doing so well with it!
DeleteWarm salads, you say? I've tried my hand at them before but it's been a very long time ago. I'm willing to give it a try again.
ReplyDeleteI never had warm salads until the last few years, now I just love them! I imagine living in the south though, warm salads probably aren't as appealing as they are up here.
DeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteWell, this salad really has the colours of autumn! And it must be very tasty, but I would have to make some changes, I have anaemia due to my illnesses and also because I can't eat vegetables. But I'm salivating at how delicious it looks!
Happy Sunday!
I am sorry you have to be so precise with your food intake. I have digestive issues and have to adjust many recipes too to keep my body from turning on itself. It's definitely not fun!
DeleteOh this looks so good.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWould you look at that. Two vegetables that I actually eat. Wonders never cease lol
ReplyDeleteIt's a Halloween miracle! LOL
DeleteI love the idea of pairing broccoli with mushrooms. Sounds like a flavorful recipe for fall. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteIt's one of my favorite combos!
