A California style salad that was voted best salad for the last birthday luncheon at work. It even beat out the Fruity Chicken Salad, which is really saying something, since they offer to pay me to make that!! It's a very easy recipe and, as you see from above, gets rave reviews. The broccoli is crunchy, the bacon salty, and the raisins add a sweet touch. I have a hard time putting the fork down with this one. . .
Ingredients:
Salad2 bunches fresh broccoli
½ small red onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup dark raisins
1/2 cup salted sunflower seeds (kernals)
6-12 pieces fried, crumbled bacon or a pouch of Oscar Myer bacon pieces
Dressing
1 cup mayo
¼ cup sugar
2 T red wine vinegar
1 t each of salt and pepper
Directions:
- Chop broccoli into small pieces
- Add all salad ingredients and toss
- Pour dressing over, stir and chill for at least 1 hr (longer is better!)
