Broccoli Salad for a Crowd image

Super easy salad for a crowd that's pretty and just a bit different. Great right away but gets better the longer it gets to marinate.

Time 40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups mayonnaise (such as Hellmann's®)
1 cup white sugar
¼ cup white wine vinegar
3 dashes hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's® RedHot), or more to taste
1 pound bacon
12 cups fresh broccoli florets, or more to taste
3 cups fruit and nut trail mix
½ large red onion, diced into 1/4-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Mix mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, and hot sauce together in a bowl.

I used frozen broccoli for this recipe and it worked out great! Just be sure to thaw it completely before adding it to the salad.

The dressing was a bit too runny for my liking. I'll try adding less mayonnaise next time.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less sugar in the dressing next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The broccoli was crisp, the dressing was flavorful, and the bacon added a nice smoky flavor. Will definitely be making this again.

I've never been a fan of broccoli salad, but this recipe changed my mind! The dressing is tangy and sweet, and the broccoli is perfectly crisp. I'll definitely be making this again for my next party.
