[QUOTE=JENNR8R;7816405]This is the recipe for Broccoli Salad that I begged for after eating it at a covered-dish dinner:
Broccoli Salad
"Confirmed broccoli haters have changed their minds after tasting this salad. It is great for potlucks or buffet meals. Make a day or so before you wish to serve to meld the ingredients. I have used sugar substitutes for the white sugar and also used nonfat or low-fat mayonnaise and it still tastes great!"
Now that one is a bit different than the others by adding in the slivered almonds. Am making a note on that and you use fresh grapes, some prefer them to raisins.
Making it the day before is good.
The menu is not set in stone to be authentic to the era.
Our family did not eat out other than at family gatherings. Everything at our house was from scratch. Home made bread every Saturday and scratch 2-egg yellow cake was the recipe I made every week. Made it so much I did not need the book to make it.
