Ingredients:
1 head of broccoli
+- 150g diced bacon bits (I use a tub of bought bacon bits)
a handful of cheese cut into 1cm squares
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp vinegar
5 tbsp mayo

Prepare the broccoli:
Break the broccoli into bit size pieces, I usually just break off the florrets.
Blanche the broccoli (This simply means putting it in a pot of water and bringing the water to a boil), it's ready when the broccoli turns bright green. When it is done, drain water off the broccoli.

Method:
Prepare the broccoli as explained above.
Fry the bacon bits.
Make the sauce by mixing the sugar, vinegar and mayo together.
Combine the sauce, bacon bits, broccoli and cheese cubes together.
Mix and enjoy.

Also blanching usually means u plunge what ur cooking (broccoli in this case) straight into a bowl of water and ice upon draining, to stop the cooking process from continuing after removing from boiling water, so that you can have it exactly the right cooked-ness that you want. Don't know if that's what was intended in this case, but it is commonly part of what blanching means.
