Broccoli Salad

Amber of AZ's Note:

My sister in law made this for a family gathering. I was so impressed that I bugged her for the recipe. I did lighten it up a bit for those of us eating healthier. Don't worry not all of my recipies are sinless. Enjoy!

I made this to take to a barbeque this past weekend. I didn't have mayo, so had to use Miracle Whip. I cut the sugar back to 1/3 cup, but should've cut back a bit more because it was still too sweet and ended up having to add more sour cream. I subbed craisins for raisins and added a bit of shredded old cheddar. What a yummy salad! Everyone loved it and I was sad to see that there was very little left over for me to take home because I enjoyed it so much! Thanks for a great recipe!

I love eating broccoli like this! Raw broccoli is healthy too. I too used balsamic vinegar, and added a few crumbles of Velveeta cheese. No one else will eat this so I get it all to myself! ;) Thanks Amber!
