Welcome

Welcome to Kay's Village Recipes! Some believe the heart of the home is in the kitchen, I believe the kitchen is the heart of the village. It takes a “village” to live life to its fullest and it has nothing to do with geography or how large or small a town you live in. My “village” is inhabited by family members, dear friends, co-workers, and the occasional visitor who is in my life for a short period of time. Each one of these people has a profound impact on my emotional wellbeing as well as the quality of my life, and all have one thing in common…they all love to eat, and I love to cook for them.
On this blog you will find free, family recipes for: homemade soups, breads, apple pie, cakes, candies, snacks, casseroles, main courses, side dishes, appetizers, breakfast, home-style cooking, and so much more.

Tossed Broccoli Salad

Original Recipe from:  Kay Johnson-Tomblin

When I was a child I hated broccoli!  As an adult, it’s one of my favorite vegetables.  I could eat it every day and never grow tired of it.  To me it’s a perfect food….tastes great and has so many health benefits.  This salad is quick and easy (a must for busy households) to make, plus makes a great presentation on your table.  Make this refreshing salad for your friends and family today…you can even get the kids involved.  Statistics prove that when kids participate in making vegetables, they are more apt to actually eat them.  This recipe can be cut in half for smaller households.  Enjoy!

Ingredients
2 pounds fresh Broccoli, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 pound sliced Bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Mozzarella Cheese
1/2 medium Red Onion, chopped
Dressing
1 cup Mayonnaise
1/2 cup Sugar
2 tablespoons Cider Vinegar

Directions
In a large salad bowl, combine Broccoli, Bacon, Cheese and Onion.

In a separate bowl, combine dressing ingredients.  Add to salad and toss.

Chill

Makes 8-10 servings
