Broccoli Salad




I was on a quest for a yummy broccoli recipe. This recipe is always at any family function I go to it seems so I looked into how I go about making it. The recipe's I found called for 1 cup of mayo, 2 tbs vinegar and 1/4 cup of sugar for the dressing. Since I like to boycott recipe's I used a little less than a cup of mayo (because I don't really care for mayo), more than 2 tbs of red wine vinegar (because its yummier) and sugar to taste. Mix your dressing first then add sunflower seeds, craisins, chopped onion and mix together. Instead of just adding broccoli, I also added cauliflower. This makes a great side dish, but if you are me and you're looking for a grab-and-go lunch, add some already cooked chicken breast (I used the leftover baked chicken from dinner last night) and it's a complete meal. Filling, healthy and delicious.
