Not Your Mama's Overnight Broccoli Salad image

Very different from the usual broccoli salad with sunflower seeds and raisins. I have no idea where this recipe originally came from we have been making it in our family for at least 25 years, and each time I bring it to pot-lucks or cookouts I am always asked for the recipe. I usually serve it with our Thanksgiving meal also just to have something fresh and crunchy. I hope you enjoy it too.
