Broccoli Salad

Well it's been awhile since my last post, that definately doesn't mean I haven't been cooking, just means I haven't had the chance to blog about any of my cooking.

Here is one of my favorite salads to make. It's definately a good salad that goes well with a good steak on the grill. It's easy enough to make quick before a neighborhood BBQ or make it for the family!

Broccoli Salad

Bowl full of broccoli (approximately 2-3 stalks)
1/2 c. raisins
1/4 c. sunflower seeds
8-10 slices of bacon

onions optional

Cut up broccoli into small bite size pieces.

Raisins

Cut bacon into small pieces and fry until crispy. Remove from grease and blot dry with paper towels. When bacon is dry, add to broccoli. Add sunflower seeds, raisins and onions (optional).

Dressing for salad

1/2 c. miracle whip

1/4 c. sugar

1/4 c. white vinegar

Cream together miracle whip and sugar together. Add vinegar. Mix until creamy. Add more ingredients to the taste that you like.

Pour dressing over broccoli mixture and mix until dressing covers broccoli mixture.

Enjoy!
