It’s so easy to whip up and tends to be a hit with most people! This recipe can be made all year round and it’s the perfect option for potlucks! Also once upon a time, I could actually eat broccoli. Oh, to be in my early 20’s again when I had a cast iron stomach. Now I can’t eat broccoli, but I DO have Mary’s recipe and technique for making the best broccoli salad ever.
Cut everything as small as you can. Tiny tiny TINY little broccoli trees. Mary said she would take her cutting board to the living room on a TV tray and watch the tube as she chopped and chopped and chopped to make a massive salad to feed the whole office. While you don’t have to watch TV or make a quadruple batch, if you make sure that the ingredients in this are small, you’ll understand how the way they blend together makes this an amazing broccoli salad! Prepare the dressing by mixing the mayonnaise, sugar, and vinegar together until smooth. Mary would let it chill overnight and then bring it to the potluck and it was spectacular! Try a different salad dressing If you fancy spicing up your dressing, try it Jamie Oliver style!
To make this healthy simply use LOW FAT mayo and watch the sugar! You can use as little as you want to make the dressing to your taste! Healthy food doesn’t have to be boring and this is the perfect example! The classic bacon broccoli salad is super healthy and completely customizable depending on your tastes.
Why not add some grapes or cranberries too for an added boost of flavour? What should you serve broccoli salad with?

Karlynn Facts: I’m allergic to broccoli. I’ve never met a cocktail that I didn’t like. I would rather burn down my house than clean it. Most of all, I love helping YOU get dinner ready because there’s nothing more important than connecting with our loved ones around the dinner table! Recipe Tips Share a tip or comment! I might have done a teeny bit less sugar than it called for.
But again an easy and delicious recipe! I only use 1 Tbs of sugar whenever I make this salad. I just made this broccoli salad, but i too added nuts instead of sunflower seeds, lots of raisins and cheddar cheese. Next time i will do yogurt instead of mayo. I have substituted Greek yogurt for mayo, and used whatever nuts I have on hand. I also blanch the broccoli, but this recipe is always always delicious and satisfying. I’m Puerto Rican and this combination of ingredients just was different but thats why I wanted to try it.
