Broccoli Salad Algebra

Yesterday I made a salad that called for 4 slices of bacon. But I was juggling a bunch of other things at the time like keeping Hen from totally losing it just because I stepped into the kitchen for one millisecond to make sure the bacon wasn't burning. And then I burned the bacon.

So I cooked 4 more slices because I wasn't about to put burnt bacon in a salad I had just spent 20 minutes prepping. But then as I was waiting for the new slices of bacon to cook, I ate the burnt bacon, because, you know, it may have been burnt but it was still bacon.

When the new bacon was done I tossed that in the finished salad bowl and devoured the whole thing for dinner. Did I mention that it was 9 o'clock by then? And that is how I found myself at the end of a very long day having eaten 8 slices of bacon. Oops. 

Salad:
1 head broccoli cut up
4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
1/2 cup red onion, chopped
1/2 cup raisins

Dressing:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 tbsp cider vinegar (or whatever you have on hand)
1 tbsp honey
1/4 cup salted and roasted sunflower seeds

Mix up the dressing and toss in the rest of the ingredients. Don't burn the bacon or you'll end up eating twice as much.

Bacon is beautiful )

I feel like experimenting with the dressing finding a way to add some grain mustard in there.
