Meg has asked for the recipe..The Hill Family graciously accepted to share: Broccoli Salad 2 heads of Broccoli 1 red onion chopped 10 slices of cooked crumbled bacon 1 red or yellow pepper chopped 1/2 cup of raisins 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds a few radishes sliced grated cheese to taste (optional..I didn't and I don't think they did) Dressing 1 cup Hellman's Mayonnaise 2 tbsps vinegar 1/4 cup of sugar Enjoy!

I have one similar but it has both Broccoli and Cauliflower. I will try the new way. I know we will love it. Meg Pink ND Zone 4   Derek  My Favorite Photo My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 01:07 pm EST :    Just one more little secret to add; you can add some pinenuts instead of the sunflower seeds for a tasty variation. And ,personally,(don't tell Marlene though) I usually add in a "few" extra slices of crunchy bacon Derek Quebec,Canada Zone 3b   Sheba  My Weather Posted on Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 04:16 pm EST :    My sister makes this minus the yellow pepper, radishes and cheese. It was a big hit at DD's graduation open house. Sheba - Indiana - Z5   Ej  My Favorite Photo My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 05:04 pm EST :    Here in So Cal we add Jalepenos....Hot..Hot...Hot!

Calif Zone 10a   Gardenbug  My Favorite Photo My Weather Posted on Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 06:46 pm EST :    Now Monique, what about adding small squares of cheese to replace the bacon for the vegetarian BF? No silly, not mine, DD's! gardenbug Ontario, Canada zone 5b, USDA zone 4   Monique  My Favorite Photo My Weather My Time Posted on Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 06:48 pm EST :    Could work..Or Tofu Bacon..I guess! I am soo glad you told me BF was not yours,but DD's! Mnique Quebec Zone 5   Susanq  My Favorite Photo My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 08:55 am EST :    This sounds really good! I might try it with fat free mayonnaise and balsamic vinegar. Thanks Monique and Derek! SusanQ - Zone 4b-5b Wisconsin   Nibbs  My Favorite Photo My Weather My Time Posted on Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 07:50 pm EST :    I was a little skeptical, but made up the recipe just as it's written (minus the cheese as well). It is scrumptious! Thanks for posting it! Diane British Columbia Zone 7b   Jak3  My Weather Posted on Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 03:07 am EST :    I make a variation of this also, but I am anxious to try it with all of these ingredients, well, not the jalepenos, EJ. Hmmm...I think I will do that today! Thanks all! Julie; Merrickville, Ontario, Canada, Zone 4   Greg  My Weather My Garden Posted on Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 04:25 am EST :    I'm with Julie . . . Jalapenos are way too mild! I'd add some Thai Dragons or maybe some Habanero! Greg, ND Zone 4   Wendy  My Favorite Photo My Weather Posted on Friday, September 19, 2003 - 02:28 pm EST :    I'm sold. I'm going to make it to bring to a party tomorrow. I assume the broccoli is chopped and raw, right? small florets or even smaller pieces? Wendy North Central Massachusetts - Zone 5A   Monique  My Favorite Photo My Weather My Time Posted on Friday, September 19, 2003 - 02:33 pm EST :    That's it Wendy..You will be a hit. Monique Quebec Zone 5   Wendy  My Favorite Photo My Weather Posted on Friday, September 19, 2003 - 02:44 pm EST :    how small to chop it I am wondering? I guess it doesn't matter too much. I bought 3 "crowns". They didn't look too big. Wendy North Central Massachusetts - Zone 5A   Monique  My Favorite Photo My Weather My Time Posted on Friday, September 19, 2003 - 02:46 pm EST :    Keep the pretty florets pretty well intact..If they can fit comfortably in a bite-size,, the rest chop to make small pieces.The florets are the FLOWERS of this delicious salad. Monique Quebec Zone 5   Wendy  My Favorite Photo My Weather Posted on Friday, September 19, 2003 - 02:53 pm EST :    Oh, of course! I should have figured that out for a GardenBuddy recipe! Thanks Monique Wendy North Central Massachusetts - Zone 5A   Wendy  My Favorite Photo My Weather Posted on Friday, September 19, 2003 - 02:54 pm EST :    Maybe I should throw a few pansies on it for garnish!!! Wendy North Central Massachusetts - Zone 5A   Monique  My Favorite Photo My Weather My Time Posted on Friday, September 19, 2003 - 02:57 pm EST :    Wendy ..believe it or not I was going to suggest that.Some are so pretty in the garden right now..Go for it! Monique Quebec Zone 5   Susanq  My Favorite Photo My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Friday, September 19, 2003 - 05:05 pm EST :    I brought this to a Packer's game tailgate last Sunday. It rained and we ate in the car! The salad was delicious. My daughters both loved what was left. SusanQ - Zone 4b-5b Wisconsin
