My Aunt Susan always makes this wonderful broccoli salad and I finally managed to get the recipe from her. This would be great as a side dish or to eat by itself.
Broccoli Salad
Ingredients
1 head fresh broccoli, tops and stem
½ small red onion, diced
½ cup craisins (you could also use raisins
¼ cup crispy bacon, diced
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
(you can also add chopped pecans if you wish)
Dressing:
2 cups Fat Free Miracle Whip
2 tlbs of Skim Milk
¾ cup granulated sugar (you can use splenda or ideal especially if you are diabetic)
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
Instructions

Dressing:
Whisk all ingredients together until well blended. Sugar should be dissolved.
Note: When adding dressing to salad, the dressing will liquefy after sitting for a few minutes, so add enough dressing to lightly coat, without drenching the salad.
