Golden Spiced Broccoli and Toasted Nut Crunch Salad

In a heavy-bottomed pan, sauté the turkey bacon until crisp, then drain on absorbent paper and chop into bite-sized shards.

💡 Tip: Using a lower heat allows the fat to render slowly, ensuring maximum crispness.

Whisk the Greek yogurt, olive oil, curry paste, turmeric, lemon juice, and minced shallot in a bowl until the emulsification is smooth.

💡 Tip: Let this dressing rest for 10 minutes to allow the curry spices to fully hydrate.

Combine the broccoli florets, crispy bacon, golden raisins, and pine nuts in a large mixing bowl.

💡 Tip: Ensure your broccoli is thoroughly dried after washing to prevent the dressing from becoming watery.

Fold the dressing into the vegetable mixture, coating every piece thoroughly, and refrigerate for at least three hours before serving.

💡 Tip: The texture is best when the broccoli has slightly softened from the acidity of the lemon.
