Ingredients
- 8 cups broccoli florets, chopped
- ½ cup onion, diced
- ½ lb. bacon, cooked and crumbled
- ½ cup pecan pieces, chopped
- 1 cup apple, chopped
- 2 large egg yolks
- 2 tsp. lemon juice
- 1 tsp. dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, diced
- ⅛ tsp. Salt
- ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp. cane syrup, add more if you want it sweeter
Directions
Cook your bacon and set it aside to cool before you crumble it.
Put your egg yolks, lemon juice, garlic, salt, cane syrup, and mustard in the blender and pulse to combine it. Put your blender on a low speed and slowly pour the olive oil in to emulsify. The aioli should be smooth.
In a large bowl, combine the broccoli, onion, crumbled bacon, pecans, and apple. Pour the aioli over top of the salad and toss to coat. Serve immediately or keep in the refrigerator before serving.
