Classic Broccoli Salad

Broccoli. Lovely fiber packed, vitamin C infused, cancer fighting veggie. It's one of my favorites. I'll scarf down the green stuff steamed, raw, roasted, diced, chopped, buttered, you name it. Now....if you have in your house a few picky tikes or hubby's  that turn up their nose at this delightful little green veggies try this delightful tasty salad :)

This is your potluck pleasin, recipe passed down from grandma, classic broccoli salad recipe. So now if you already have this recipe or a version of it I apologize. Otherwise, give it a try and you MIGHT just fall in love with this wonderful nutritional miniature tree.




Classic Broccoli Salad

3 medium heads of broccoli
4 pieces of cooked bacon cut into bits
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup minced red onion

Dressing

1 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
Blend dressing ingredients together and place in refrigerator while you prepare the other ingredients (chopping the broccoli, cooking the bacon, mincing the onion...you get the picture). Toss everything in a large salad bowl then drizzle the dressing on top tossing lightly to blend it in. Serve after about an hour.

Happy Monday Everyone!
