Broccoli Salad is a favorite at our house.

This Broccoli Salad recipe originally came from Don's mom, Momma Betty, and it is our daughter Roni's favorite salad. It's a good "covered dish" to take to a potluck dinner. I made it recently to take to Valley Friends Meeting (Quakers) because Meeting was having a special speaker after Meeting for Worship.

Broccoli Salad is easy and quite tasty. I often buy the precut bags of broccoli at Costco. That makes it super simple. It does have a good bit of sugar and mayonnaise in it, like any old-fashioned Southern recipe. Recently, however, I made it with just ⅛ cup of sugar and I couldn't tell the difference. Some people make it with crumbled bacon added. That sounds delicious to me!

What Do You Need for This Recipe?

Well, you need some professional knives, a cutting board and measuring cups and spoons. And a beautiful dish to serve it in doesn't hurt!
