You probably can't hide the fact that this
salad is made with broccoli, but if you can convince a devout
"broccoli-hater" to try just one bite, you might have
a convert on your hands...it's that tasty! This recipe is courtesy
of a friend, Linda. After several potluck dinners at church,
I finally got her to share her it with me! - Hope Pryor, owner

Fresh Broccoli
Salad
- Salad:
5 cups fresh broccoli flowerets, chopped into small bite-size
pieces*
8 ounces smoked bacon, fried crisp, drained and crumbled
3/4 cup dried cranberries or golden raisins
1/2 cup chopped green onions
Dressing:
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
- For Salad: In a large
mixing bowl, place the prepared broccoli flowerets, bacon, cranberries
(or raisins) and green onions.
- Pour prepared dressing
over salad and toss to coat ingredients completely.
- For Dressing: In a small
bowl whisk together all ingredients until smooth and well combined.
- Serve immediately, or
refrigerate until ready to serve.
Makes 12 servings.
* Linda chops the broccoli
flowerets very small, I believe this is the "secret"
to the tastiness of her salad, simply because there is more "surface"
for the dressing to cling to, resulting in a pleasant blend of
flavors without having one overpower the other (especially the
broccoli).
