Broccoli Salad

Check out the bowl in pic below!
My DD loves this salad and asked me to bring it for a family gathering.  If you don't already have a good recipe for this, try this one.  It's a little different as it doesn't have bacon in it.  You can always add some if you'd like.   A good friend of mine brought this once to my house and told me that she got it from Southern Living. 

3/4 cup mayonnaise (I use light)
1/4 cup sugar (or sugar substitute)
1 and 1/2 T. white vinegar
1 (16-ounce package broccoli flowerets (I use 3 crowns)
1 (11-ounce can) mandarin oranges, drained (I omitted)
1 small purple onion, chopped
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Combine first 3 ingredients; add broccoli and next 3 ingredients.  Chill 8 hours.  Top with almonds.
Yield:  12 servings
My MIL bought me this bowl from TJ Maxx when I first moved to TX.
This matching pitcher is also from TJ Maxx.

    How did you know this is what I'm hungry for? We saw this salad at Earth Fare...our big health food store and I almost got some! It was $10.99 a pound and I decided I would try to make some soon! Now I have the recipe! THANKS!

    I've never made broccoli salad, but I love it. I will certainly make this and since I'm always looking for ways to cut calories and fat, I will make it with the lite and the sugar substitute. I think it will be delicious. I'm so glad you shared it. I love that pitcher and bowl. Just my type.

    I love broccoli and enjoy finding new recipes that call for it. This one looks very good! The oranges sound like something I'd like to add to this dish. Oh, and since I always like strawberry designs, I really like your pitcher. Thanks for linking up to Your Cozy Home Party!
