This salad has been a family favorite for years. Although the combination of ingredients may seem strange, this dish is absolutely delicious! This salad is great to bring to a party, but is best made the night before. Letting the salad sit overnight in the refrigerator is key to the melding of the flavors.
serves 12 ( about 2/3 c. = 5 points +)
- 1-1/2 bunches fresh broccoli ( at least 4 c. ) cut into florets
- 4 c. red seedless grapes
- 4 green onions, thinly sliced
- 6 strips Oscar Mayer fully cooked bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
- 1 c. light mayonnaise
- 1/3 c. sugar
- 1T. white vinegar
- 1 c. cashews
Place first four ingredients in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, sugar and vinegar. Pour over broccoli mixture, stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight. Just before serving add cashews and toss to mix.
I absolutely love broccoli salad. My husband may pick out the grapes, but I am trying this soon!
ReplyDeleteIf I leave out the bacon how will the points value change?
ReplyDeleteNo. It will not change the value.
