Broccoli Salad

Last week we got broccoli in our Bountiful Basket and I thought it would be perfect to use as a salad for out Cub Scout Blue and Gold dinner. 

Broccoli Salad

1 head Broccoli chopped into bite size pieces
handful of sunflower seeds
handful of raisins
Small Red Onion chopped (I used a yellow onion and it was a bit strong, glad I only used a part of it)
dressing:
1 cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsp vinegar or lemon juice (I used lemon juice)
2 Tbsp sugar

Mix everything together.  I find it helpful to let it marinate for a while before serving it.  You can also add crumbled up bacon to this, but I didn't want to.

Verdict:  Like I said, the red onion would have been better, mine was a little bit strong, but there was none left.  Here is a tip if you want to stretch the broccoli a bit, peel the outside of the stalk and the chop it up and add it.  I do that when I make stir-fry and broccoli soup.
