Broccoli Salad
#22
Wow I was at a potluck yesterday and they had this salad and I loved it. Even have a package of leftovers in my frig. Wanted the recipe and the lady couldn't remember all of it so I'm really glad you posted it for me. Thanks!!

Instead of 2 bunches of broccoli, I use some cauliflower, cheese, bacon, sunflower seeds, red onion and the dressing-I pour the dressing over the salad a few hours before serving-time to soak in-mmmm! I like the idea of the water chestnuts-will have to try that-love the crunchiness of water chestnuts-

We like this recipe, too, however, I don't always use the onion, unless it's when Vidalias are in season. If you use onion, add it just before serving or it will overpower it. I often use Craisins instead of raisins and that's good. Pecans are okay, too. I have even added cauliflower.

Seems like everybody likes this recipe and makes their own variation. I either leave out the red onion or use a few thinly sliced pieces for decoration only, use black seedless grapes (cut in half) instead of raisins, pecan pieces instead of cashews or almonds and then use the real crumbled bacon from the salad aisle.
