Rhyming Broccoli Salad
Today I am posting a special treat. Awesome Broccoli salad, and rhymes that are neat.
You see, amidst all the rushing and work, I find myself bored for some fun and some perks. So I set to rhyming a post now and then, it is not a waste if it makes me grin!
Yes, I suppose I am easily amused.
But life is more fun if you live it enthused.
For this yummy dish, ingredients are an ease. First you’ll need broccoli and sunflower seeds. Add mayonnaise, vinegar too. Toss in some raisins and sugar will do. And now to improve this vegetarian dish – buy lots of bacon per carnivore’s wish!
Wash and separate, head from the stalk. The chopping is next, the part I usually balk…
But now I don’t fret coz choppin’s a breeze, I use the food processor Hamilton Beach 
Except for the florettes, I chop them by hand. They look so pretty, I knew you’d all understand.
Now, with all that broccoli in a big old bowl, add in chopped onion and away we go!
Toss in some raisins…
and kernels of sun ..
Add cooked, crumbled bacon and the salad is done!
Whoops! We forgot to add in the dressing. Mayo, vinegar..
and sugar’s a blessing! Mix them all up til it’s good and combined..
Pour over our salad , it’ll be sublime!
You’re lucky you saw this dish all completed…
It was all i could do to keep it uneated

Yummy! My grandmother ALWAYS makes this broccoli salad and it is always a hit. I like to use the golden raisins instead cause I never use them for anything else…hehe. I have never added sunflower seeds but I will have to try that next time!
I started making this salad a couple of months ago, and it has fast become our favorite! I also use the golden raisins too. I think they have a sweeter taste, and I’m all for sweetness.
My sister, who says that if God wanted her to eat green stuff, He would have made it taste like chocolate, has eaten the salad, and has even had 2nds.
For our thanksgiving dinner, my husband cut up the broccoli, which was really nice! He is better than the food processor, and much cuter too! (Of course, I don’t have a Hamilton Beach Food Processor!)
Do you think they’d send me one?
Oh, I think I’ve had this salad before! If it’s the one I’m thinking of, I absolutely love it! Way cute rhyming, by the way. I don’t think I’m creative enough to rhyme an entire recipe, that’s pretty impressive!
LOVE the rhyming. I will try this salad. I have had it before but have never made it.
I make this too, only I use pecans and instead of sugar, splenda.
One of my very favorites!

I made this salad last night. I’ve had it before and really liked it but never made it. The one I have had before had halved red seedless grapes in it which was very good. I didn’t have sunflower seeds so I used walnuts which I chopped up because I had some in the freezer and I also used golden raisins because I had those and it came out awesome. My husband loved it so much he finished it all off last night and wants me to make it weekly! Thanks for the yummy recipe.
