My Most requested recipe: Souplantation style Broccoli Salad

This is probably my most requested recipe, so I thought I would just put it on my blog for all to enjoy!

Ingredients:
  • 1 bunch broccoli, uncooked, washed; cut into florets (I buy the bag at Costco for like $3.99 & use about ½ the bag
  • ½ cup cooked bacon, crumbled (I buy the pre-cooked bacon pieces at Costco or SAM’s Club, really good and REALLY easy) NOT BACON BITS
  • ½ cup cashews (most expensive ingredient, I buy the container, GUESS WHERE? Costco)
  • 1/3 cup raisins
  • ¼ cup red/purple onion, chopped


Dressing
  • 1 cup mayo                         
  • 1/3 cup sugar             
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (rice vinegar or other kinds work OK too)


DIRECTIONS
Step 1: 
  • Mix the broccoli, bacon, cashews, raisins and onions in large bowl.
  • In a second bowl, beat dressing ingredients together gently until smooth.
Step 2:
  • About 10 minutes before serving, toss the salad with the dressing to allow flavors to meld.
SERVE & ENJOY!
It is really super easy and super good.  Great for party appetizers!  Most people like it and it has some kind of veggies in it too, right!?
Side Note: You can also mix together and refrigerate overnight, just don’t mix salad and dressing until right before serving.

Love this recipe, but we add cheese and use sunflower seeds. I wish I had all the stuff right now, it sounds so good.
