Broccoli Salad

This is another from Recipezaar. It's #24862. Dressing can be made ahead of time and makes plenty. It's very thick at first and then thins out as the sugar dissolves. I ended up having to add more broccoli to even out the flavor and texture. I used regular raisins and peanuts instead of sunflower seeds.

Ingredients

• 3 broccoli, heads (cut into bite-size pieces)
• 5-10 pieces crisp bacon, crumbled (Baco's do not work)
• 2 tablespoons red onions, chopped
• 1 cup golden raisin
• 3/4 cup sunflower seed (I use unsalted)

Dressing (best to add just prior to serving)

• 1 cup mayonnaise (low-cal will not be the same)
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar (optional) or 1/2 cup prepared mustard (optional)

Directions

1. Put all of the salad ingredients in a bowl and pour on the dressing.
2. Mix well.
3. Chill.
4. Keeps well in the refrigerator, but is best served within an hour or two while ingredients are still crunchy.
