Best Broccoli Salad Ever! image

This is a delightful, cool, and crisp salad with healthy fruits, vegetables, and nuts that is a great accompaniment to any entree. It's a real favorite with anyone who tries it. This is a fun recipe as you can get creative with it. I have even made it with out the sunflower seeds, and it was still delicious.

BEST BROCCOLI SALAD



Best Broccoli Salad image

I made this salad for an end of school year pot luck. The following year I was asked if I would bring it again. People remember this salad from year to year. It can be made the day before and chilled - which is very helpful. It uses a full pound of bacon. The cook time is actually "chill time" in the refrigerator.

BEST EVER BROCCOLI SALAD



Best Ever Broccoli Salad image

After looking at over 300 Broccoli Salad Recipes on RecipeZaar to be sure I wasn't duplicating something that had already been posted, it would seem that the last thing that RecipeZaar needs is another Broccoli Salad Recipe. However, even though there are several recipes that are similar, this one has not been posted. Every time I take this anywhere I hear, "This is the best Broccoli Salad I have ever tasted", and I get many requests for the recipe, so I figured that posting on RecipeZaar was a good way to share it with all of those people, and introduce them to RecipeZaar at the same time. I had five requests for it just last night. This recipe makes enough for a large group, so if you are fixing it for a small gathering or family dinner, cut it in half.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 20m

Yield 12-18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 lbs fresh broccoli
1 lb bacon
2 cups sunflower seeds
1 cup raisins
2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 cups Best Foods Mayonnaise
1/2 cup sugar
4 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Wash and cut the broccoli into bite sized pieces. Use only the flowerets, discarding the large stem pieces.
  • Cut the whole pound of bacon into small pieces (this is very easy to do if the bacon is frozen) and fry the bacon pieces until crisp. Drain bacon on paper towels.
  • Whisk the mayonnaise and sugar together. After well blended, whisk in vinegar one tablespoon at a time. Refrigerate this dressing until time to serve the salad.
  • When taking this to a pot luck, I put each ingredient into a separate plastic bag and toss everything together in a large salad bowl just before serving.
