I was at a church gathering this weekend. It was the 61st anniversary of this event. And of course, you can't have a church event without food! Potluck (or a covered dish dinner to some) makes for a fun time. You get to try lots of food you would probably not make otherwise. I especially like it, because most of my family are picky eaters...and I will eat anything! I tried a yummy broccoli salad, and the chef shared her simple recipe. It was so good on Sunday, I've already made this at home! Do not forget the onion...it really makes this dish pop!
2-3 heads fresh broccoli, trimmed into bite size florets
Small amount choppped red onion (white or yellow works too)
1/2 lb bacon cooked and crumbled (Or-prepackaged real bacon pieces)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
sunflowers seeds as desired
dressing -- 1/2 cup mayo, 1/4 sugar, 1 tbls vinegar
Mix dressing, add all other ingredients. Mix and chill until ready to serve.
