Broccoli Salad



Although it’s Fall, the weather feels like summer yet. And it is hard to think of cooking soups, casseroles, and other fall-hearty dishes that the magazines show. For tonight’s supper it’s grilled hamburgers, potatoes and Broccoli Salad.
A friend at a recent church circle shared this Broccoli Salad and I took it to a meeting last week as well. It makes a good covered dish to take, or to stay home.

Broccoli Salad
In a small bowl, mix the dressing and set aside:
1 cup Miracle Whip type salad dressing
3 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 Tablespoon sugar

In a large bowl, toss together:
4 cups broccoli crowns cut into bite size
¼ cup diced red onion
½ cup crumbled bacon
½ cup shredded cheese
½ cup sunflower seeds
½ cup dried cranberries

Stir dressing into broccoli mixture. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.

The red wine vinegar and sugar give a sweet-sour tangy taste to the salad.
