Broccoli Salad
Labels:
Salad
Ingredients:
2 bunches fresh broccoli (1lb.) cut in small flowerets
1 medium purple onion, finely chopped
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
6 strips bacon, cooked until crisp and crumbled
½ cup sunflower seeds or raisins (optional)
Preparation:
In a large bowl combine broccoli, onion and cheese. Refrigerate. Just before serving, stir in bacon. Add sunflower seeds or raisins if you wish. Pour desired amount of dressing over salad. Stir to coat. Serve the same day.
Salad Dressing Ingredients:
1cup mayonnaise (miracle whip)
2 tablespoons red or white wine vinegar
½ cup sugar
½ teaspoon salt
Preparation:
Mix ingredients. Chill at least one hour before tossing with salad
Serves 6-8
I add spinach, and use the Real bacon bits from the store. You can substitute cheddar cheese for any type of cheese of your choosing, I have used crumbled feta before. And toasted Pine nuts is also a good substitution if you would like a little different flavor. Also in place of the raisins use craisins. Experiment with this recipe and enjoy it.
