Broccoli Salad
This is a classic both here in US and in Denmark. I think most people know this salad. But even though it's very old school, it shouldn't deter you from putting it on the table. The sweet, salty, crunchy salad will be a hit at the dinner table.
Ingredients:
2 broccoli crowns, in small florets
1 medium red onion, in small dices
100 g sunflower seeds
100 g raisins
250 g bacon
Dressing:
95 g Miracle Whip
45 g sour cream
3 tablespoons honey
2-3 teaspoons red wine vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Mix all the ingredients for the dressing in a bowl, set aside.
Place bacon in a deep skillet and cook over medium high heat until crisp and brown. Cool and cut into small pieces.
Cut the broccoli into bite-size pieces, and chop up the onion finely. Combine ¾ of the bacon, raisins, broccoli and sunflower seeds, and toss it with the dressing.
Serve the salad chilled, and with sprinkles of bacon-bits and sunflower seeds on top.
Enjoy!
