"This great side dish is prepared all summer long and on New Years Day along with ham sandwiches and baked beans. This stuff is so flavorful and even more addicting!"

 

• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 10-14

ingredients

• 3 stalks broccoli, cut into bite size florets
• 1 small red onion, cut into thin ringlets (about a 1/2 cup or so)
• 12 slices crispy bacon, crumbled
• 1 cup sunflower seeds, toasted
• 1⁄2 cup golden raisin
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1⁄2 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons vinegar

directions

1. Chop broccoli into small bite size pieces ( I use all but large end stems of broccoli heads). Place into a large bowl with red onion, crispy crumbled bacon, sunflower seeds and golden raisins. In a medium sized Tupperware add the mayonnaise, sugar and vinegar. Cover Tupperware tight with lid and shake well 1-2 minutes till well combined and sugar has dissolved. When ready to serve add dressing and toss till combined. ( I like to add dressing an hour or so before serving to let marinate, toss again right before serving).

This was very delicious. I did a trial run today for party we are hosting on Saturday and I will definitely be making it party day. Note: I did change the regular vinegar to balsamic vinegar, just because we are balsamic vinegar addicts, but I think it would be just as good with the regular vinegar. The change was just a personal preferance. Thanks for the great recipe!
