Yesterday I made broccoli salad, and while I absolutely love it myself, I think I enjoyed Betsy's raving about it almost more than actually eating it!! Anyway, she agreed that I should post it on here for others to enjoy. So here it is for all you broccoli-lovers out there. (The pic isn't actually mine - the one in the pic has sunflower seeds I think; not something I've ever used, but would be an interesting addition...mine has cheese in it too; but this picture was the closest I could find).Broccoli Salad
2 heads broccoli florests
1 small red onion
1/2 lb. bacon, cooked & drained
1 c. mayonnaise
1/2 c. sugar
2 T. vinegar
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
raisins (or sunflowers, apparently) - also optional
Mix mayo, sugar & vinegar. Add onion, broccoli & bacon. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving. Top with cheese if desired.
(Mmm...we were discussing last night how this is really a rather complete meal if you include the cheese and raisins; you have proteins, veggies, fruit... Great summer eating!!)

OMIGOSH! This salad SCREAMS summer goodies. It's our family's all time favorite and my mom gets begged to bring it to every get-together we have. To me, it's not Memorial Day weekend without it!
We just ate this at a picnic yesterday and both said how much we LOVE this salad. I said initially that I wanted to get the recipe but then changed my mind b/c it's nice to not make something at home and be able to anticipate having it at picnics and like gatherings. Somehow, when I begin to make something w/ any kind of consistency, I start to not like it as much. But, I'm still debating this one b/c it is so "healthy". :)
