Broccoli Salad

Submitted by mliss29

"I think this may have come from Meals like Mom used to make : dinner menus & recipes from days gone by. At least it came from a library book with a name something like that. It actually called for "one small onion, chopped" but I thought that was too much onion. Less and minced made it more of a seasoning."

Very good! Made half the recipe, cubed some string cheese & added left over french fried onions instead.

LOVE it. I added carrots, raisins and sunflower seeds. My dressing was perfect. . .not runny. I did cut the recipe in half and the two of us devoured it. Will absolutely make this again. THANKS. Made for Aus/NZ Swap Oct 2008.

We really enjoyed this recipe. I loved the dressing, it is a bit more tart than some which was nice. I used a red onion and added in a small amount of grated old cheddar and a couple of tblsp. of sunflower seeds. Bacon would be nice as well but I left it out this time. This was made for ZWT4. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

Although the broccoli salads I'm used to have more in them, I liked the simplicity of this. I blanched my broccoli then plunged it in cold water and drained very well. I added extra onions. The dressing was really good, but it was so runny that it didn't cling to the broccoli. It sat on the bottom of the bowl. I will work on doing something to that dressing, because I really did like it. I may put some cauliflower in here too next time for some contrasting color. Thanx!

While not as addictive as our usual broccoli salad (sorry, this can't compete with bacon *big grins*), this was very good, indeed, and a nice change. I used dried minced onions, and let the salad marinate in my fridge most of the day, which softened them right up. The flavors really came together after several hours of "soaking", a little sweet, a little tangy, extremely crunchy. I think next time I would blanch the broccoli (green it up and make it a little more tender). Thank you for posting, made for ZWT4.
