SOUTHERN BROCCOLI SALAD
A classic sweet and savory Southern broccoli salad combines raw (or barely cooked) broccoli with sweet dried fruit (typically raisins or cranberries), crunchy sunflower seeds and savory Cheddar in a creamy, tangy mayonnaise dressing. Briefly blanching the broccoli in boiling water ensures bright green veggies with a crisp-tender texture. The salad gets better with time, so make it a few hours ahead and refrigerate it. (Reserve the crispy bacon and sprinkle it on top right before serving.) And, if your tastes skew sweet, further increase the sugar by another tablespoon.

Steps:
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium. Add bacon and cook, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; discard bacon fat or reserve for another use. Chop the bacon into bite-size pieces.
- Meanwhile, add broccoli to boiling water and cook until bright green, 1 minute. Rinse under cold water until cool (or transfer to an ice bath). Drain broccoli well and pat dry.
- In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, onion, vinegar and sugar and mix well. Add the broccoli, cheese, raisins and sunflower seeds. Season with salt and pepper, and toss until well combined. (If time allows, refrigerate for 30 minutes to 3 hours to allow flavors to meld, stirring occasionally.)
- Transfer broccoli salad to a serving bowl or platter. Top with bacon. Salad can be served immediately, or refrigerated and served chilled.
SUSAN'S BROCCOLI SALAD
I love broccoli salad from the deli, and have wanted to find a recipe to make at home. This dressing is fantastic, and the salad is good as is, but the deli adds more items like raisins or dried cranberries, purple onions, maybe sesame seeds? Each deli recipe is different, so this one can be altered to please your own personal choice! Enjoy!

Steps:
- At least 3-4 hours before mealtime, combine the sugar, mayo and red wine vinegar. Combine the remaining ingredients. Pour dressing over the salad 30 minutes before serving.
- You can add other items, such as purple onion, raisins, sesame seeds, or anything else you desire. There is enough dressing to add a few more things. Or you could add some cauliflower florets...
- Recipe came from a Cowboy Cookbook I got a long time ago, and is really fantastic!
