FRESH BROCCOLI - MANDARIN SALAD 
4 c. fresh broccoli florets, 1" cubes
1/2 c. golden raisins
6 slices bacon, cooked & crumbled
2 c. sliced fresh mushrooms
1 (11 oz.) can mandarin oranges, drained
1/2 med. red onion, sliced in 1/8" ring
1/2 c. slivered almonds, toasted

CUSTARD DRESSING:

1 egg plus 1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
1/2 c. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. dry mustard
1/4 c. vinegar
1/4 c. water
3 tbsp. butter, softened
1/2 c. mayonnaise

In top of double boiler, whisk together egg, egg yolk, sugar, cornstarch and mustard. Combine vinegar and water; slowly whisk into egg mixture. Place over hot water and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. (You may cook in microwave until thick instead of using the double boiler.) Remove from heat; stir in butter and mayonnaise. Chill. Toss dressing with remaining ingredients in serving bowl. Serve, store chilled.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
