Broccoli Madaline Salad

Submitted by Kim7459

"Broccoli Madaline is a great salad. It is already loved by thousands of people. I should know because I used to make it almost every day for Piccadilly. I would have customers beg me for the recipe. It would fly off the serving line. I did cut the recipe down form the original. Also I made sure to put it into my own words. I don't want any one to get into trouble with the copyright. I hope everyone enjoys this."

This is the cafeteria "PICCADILLY'S" Broccoli Madeline Salad recipe, we used to frequent the cafeteria often until they closed up here in MO, this was my favorite salad they made and I was delighted to find the recipe. I have even made this with dried cranberries and added pine nuts to mine and it was amazing but it is also amazing just the way it is. A family favorite over here.

WOW! This was an excellent salad. It was all gone in 2 days (and I only got a little spoonful on the first day!) My husband really liked it and said I should continue to make it exactly how I did - followed the exact recipe!! Very tasty! Thanks for the posting of this recipe Kim! Made for Bargain Basement 2012.
