With an excess of broccoli in my sister’s
refrigerator, she pulled out our aunt’s recipe and that’s what I made to accompany
tonight’s dinner.
I’ve made other variations — one’s that
called for lightly blanched broccoli (this one doesn’t) + those with added
sunflower seeds or almonds, or that use dried cranberries or even cherries.
Sometimes the most basic things are the best!
Broccoli Salad
1 bunch broccoli (2 large or 3 average stalks), finely
chopped
½ cup raisins
½ medium onion, finely chopped
5 to 8 slices bacon, fried & crumbled
1. Combine
first 3 ingredients.
2. Add
dressing and toss; refrigerate until ready to eat.
3. Mix
in bacon right before serving.
Dressing
Note: Our aunt’s
recipe calls for double the amount of all the following ingredients. Both my sister, Marla, and I believe it is way to
much so we cut all amounts in half. We prefer salad with dressing versus
dressing with a bit of salad!
½ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup granulated sugar
1½ to 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Thoroughly blend all ingredients.
