My sister Geri made this super ono salad. I ate the left half of the container before I thought to take a picture. Here's what's left of the salad.
1 or 2 “heads” of broccoli
About 1 red onion (you can use white onions, but red is preferable)
Dried cranberries – aka “Craisins” (can substitute raisins, and some people use grapes, as many as you like)
Roasted salted sunflower seeds (as many as you like)
Crumbled bacon (about as much as you like: if you use the “Hormel Precooked/precrumbled” package, about ½ a package is plenty.
Dressing: 1 cup mayonnaise, ¼ cup sugar, 1 tbs. red wine vinegar, adjust the sugar and vinegar as needed
The dressing will make enough for about 1 ½ recipes, but the leftovers keep well in the refrigerator.
