Categories     Vegetable     Side     No-Cook     Vegetarian

Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 Bunch Fresh Broccoli, Broken into Flowerettes
1/2 Cup Red Onion
1 Cup Celery, chopped
1 Pound Bacon; Fried Crisp, Drained, Crumbled
1/2 Hulled Sunflower Seeds
1/2 Cup Raisins
DRESSING:
3/4 Cup Mayonnaise
1/4 Cup Sugar
2 Tablespoons White Vinegar

Steps:

  • Combine salad ingredients together in large bowl. Combine dressing ingredients together thoroughly. Pour dressing over salad ingredients and stir to blend. Serve chilled.

Tips:

  • When choosing broccoli, select tightly closed florets with a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellowing or wilted florets.
  • To achieve the best flavor, use fresh raisins. If using dried raisins, soak them in warm water for 15 minutes before adding them to the salad.
  • For a sweeter salad, use golden raisins instead of regular raisins.
  • If you don't have red onion, you can use a yellow or white onion instead. However, red onion adds a nice pop of color to the salad.
  • You can add other vegetables to the salad, such as shredded carrots, chopped celery, or sliced bell peppers.
  • For a more flavorful salad, use a homemade dressing instead of a store-bought dressing.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving. The flavors will meld together better if the salad is chilled.

Raisin broccoli salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for potlucks, picnics, and barbecues. It's also a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. With its sweet and savory flavor, raisin broccoli salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
