My Mom's Requested Birthday Dish

Cannot believe my mother is 57, although she doesn't look like it. Now I feel old...lol.

My mom requested that I made this side dish for her birthday dinner tonight. Since this goes really fast in our household I decided to make a double batch.

Broccoli Salad

 

• 2-3 bunches of broccoli, raw and cut into bite size pieces (not a lot of the stem)
• 1/2 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1 small red onion, chopped into small pieces
• 1 cup raisins
• 1/3 cup sunflower seeds
• 3/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 and 1/2 Tablespoons white vinegar

 Directions:

• In a large bowl, mix chopped raw broccoli, cooked bacon, chopped onion, raisins and sunflower seeds and set aside.
• In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sugar and white vinegar to make the dressing. Pour over the broccoli mixture and mix well.
• Refrigerate for a few hours so flavors mix.
