Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If some of your broccoli florets are large, cut them into bite-sized pieces before adding to the mayonnaise mixture.
  • tip 2
    Mild green onions make a nice substitute for the red onions in this Broccoli Bacon Salad recipe.
  • tip 3
    To take the bite out of raw onion, rinse cut onion in a mesh strainer under cold running water for 30 seconds, then drain thoroughly.
