I have had versions of this Broccoli Salad at every upscale grocery store's deli counter, none better than Byerly's and Lunds. It is great for a BBQ or a great "dish to share" for a potluck. Today I made it for a 4th of July picnic. I can't believe I forgot to take a picture...my bad. Since I didn't have any pictures, I attached a favorite picture taken during our 2008 trip to Kauai. This was taken near the "Fantasy Island" waterfall. Besides that, the trees on the left sort of look like broccoli? I hope you can visualize how great this is. Having learned this as an after thought...you may want to consider putting the bacon on the side...that way the Veg heads can enjoy it too...besides that the Carnivores will appreciate the crispness in the bacon that will lend to the finished salad.
Broccoli Salad with Tangy Dressing adapted from Lunds

- Blanch Broccoli for 60 seconds then shock in cold water and drain
- Combine Broccoli, Bacon (or serve on side), Raisins, Sunflower Seeds and Onion and toss in Sweet, Creamy, Tangy Dressing
- Cover and Refrigerate until well chilled (a few hours)
Ingredients:
- 1 Cup Mayonnaise

YOU CRACK ME UP!!! :) The tree on the left does not really look like broccoli but you had me sold on this recipe with the bacon ingredient- I LOVE bacon! Enjoy the summer. Miss You
