Audreys Sunshine Raisin Broccoli Salad Food

BROCCOLI SUNSHINE SALAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine mayo, sugar, and lemon juice. Mix dressing well and allow to chill for an hour or so. This allows the lemon juice to dissolve the sugar before combining with the rest of the salad ingredients.
• While the dressing chills, combine broccoli, cheese, raisins, onion, bacon, and sunflower seeds in a large bowl. Store in the frig while the dressing finishes chilling.
• Pour dressing over salad and toss well to coat. You can serve immediately, but I recommend refrigerating for several hours or overnight to meld flavors and soften the broccoli.
