Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
Zest of a lemon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated garlic
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound penne pasta
Kosher salt
4 cups red grape tomatoes, halved
4 cups yellow grape tomatoes, halved
2 cups frozen sweet corn, thawed
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips
1 orange bell pepper, seeded and cut in strips
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and cut in strips
One 16-ounce jar banana peppers, drained and sliced
1 lemon, sliced, for garnishing

Steps:

  • For the sunshine dressing: Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper to a medium bowl and whisk until combined.
  • For the salad: Cook the pasta in salted water according to package instructions. Drain and rinse the pasta under cold water. Allow the pasta to dry slightly before assembling; this will help the dressing really adhere to the pasta.
  • Pour the dressing over the pasta in a large bowl and toss to coat. Add the yellow and grape tomatoes, corn, bell peppers and banana peppers and toss gently until evenly mixed. Arrange the salad onto a serving platter and garnish with the lemon slices.

BROCCOLI SUNSHINE SALAD



Broccoli Sunshine Salad image

Fresh broccoli florets, bacon, sunflower seeds, raisins, red onion, and shredded cheddar in a sweet & tangy dressing

Provided by [email protected]

Time 3h30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 1/2 cups broccoli washed (drained & cut into bite-sized pieces (1 1/2 inch))
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I use sharp cheddar, but use what you like)
1/3 cup raisins
1/4 cup chopped red onion rinse in a strainer with hot water for 10 seconds if the onion is too strong
8 slices bacon cooked and crumbled or chopped
1/3 cup shelled sunflower seeds you can use roasted with no salt or roasted & salted
* Dressing (see notes)
1/2 cup mayo (Hellmann's light is my go-to)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine mayo, sugar, and lemon juice. Mix dressing well and allow to chill for an hour or so. This allows the lemon juice to dissolve the sugar before combining with the rest of the salad ingredients.
  • While the dressing chills, combine broccoli, cheese, raisins, onion, bacon, and sunflower seeds in a large bowl. Store in the frig while the dressing finishes chilling.
  • Pour dressing over salad and toss well to coat. You can serve immediately, but I recommend refrigerating for several hours or overnight to meld flavors and soften the broccoli.
