my weapon of choice

over the holidays i wanted to do my part in helping out with the food selection. of course i wanted to go with what everyone wanted, so i took requests. turns out everybody loved my recipe for broccoli salad. since it was such a hit at thanksgiving, christmas eve, christmas day and ricas uncles birthday party, i fell like i should share it. i have to admit, not only is it delicious, but it is actually pretty easy!! having two babies, easy is great as far as im concerned... so, here it is....

salad
one large bundle of broccoli, cut up into small pieces
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup raisins ~ i used craisins
1 small sweet onion, chopped fine
1/2 pound bacon ~ i went for turkey bacon ~ cooked and crumbled into small pieces
blend together all of these ingredients
dressing
1 cup mayonnaise ~ you can totally get away with using the low fat
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
mix salad dressing
once the broccoli mixture and salad dressing and separately mixed, mix both ingredients together. chill for two hours before serving.

i love the recipe, try it sometime!!! ;)
