Brocoli by Dolly Petith

Broccoli/Bacon/Raisin Salad
          From Dolly Petith
I believe this recipe originated with Bonnie Dunham and has been copied and passed on to numerous friends and family.  It is delicious, nutritious and a gem.  Cutting the broccoli and frying the bacon both take time but worth every minute.  Serves 8
One bunch of fresh broccoli—wash and drain and break into small pieces, cutting stem into small pieces also.
Add 1/2 cup of chopped red onion
Add 1 cup of chopped celery
Add 1 pound of bacon, fried crisp, drained and crumbled
Add ½ cup hulled sunflower seeds
Add ½ cup raisins

Dressing:  ¾ cup mayonnaise
Add ¼ cup of sugar
Mix thoroughly with  2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Pour over salad and serve chilled
Refrigerate leftovers
          So delicious – you’ll serve it often
