when you're tired of broccoli florets & dip

This is one Big Sis is apparently required to bring to all dinners involving her in-laws. Don't ask me, too many things in here I'm not prepared to eat, or not prepared to eat in tandem.  If I'm aiming for a salad, just make mine Caesar, please.

Be prepared for vagueness, people. How big is a "bunch" of broccoli? What kind of onion? Presumably the sunflower seeds are shelled? (Okay, that last one was a gimme, I'll admit.)

Broccoli Salad

1-2 bunches of broccoli, diced
1 medium onion, diced
12 slices bacon, cooked & crumbled
1 c sunflower seeds
1 c raisins

Dressing
1 c miracle whip (don't even get me started)
1/2 c sugar
2 T vinegar

Whisk up dressing, pour over salad ingredients, and toss well.

Oh, and Big Sis says it's "not so great as leftovers, becomes soggy" so you have been warned. Probably best not to make this too far in advance. Or at least not mix it together too far in advance.

That Caesar is sounding better and better...

  1. That's my mother's cole slaw dressing recipe, minus the seasonings. I make broccoli slaw pretty regularly, and this isn't so much different.
