DO YOU REMEMBER that good old southern cooking? When I was growing up, my granny was my favorite cook. My mama was an amazing cook as well, but there was just something about being in granny’s kitchen.

NOW FOR THIS FAMILY RECIPE:
Broccoli Salad
4 CUPS FRESH BROCCOLI FLORETS
1/4 CUP SUGAR
1/2 CUP PECANS (CHOPPED)
1/2 CUP RED ONION (CHOPPED)
3/4 CUP MAYONNAISE
2 TBSP. APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
1/2 CUP GOLDEN RAISINS (SOAKED IN ORANGE JUICE)
6-8 SLICES OF BACON (COOKED TILL CRISP)

Drain the orange juice (off raisins) and put into a small bowl, set both aside. In a large bowl combine and toss the remaining ingredients except the bacon, plus ¼ cup of the orange juice, until well blended. Place in your serving bowl or container to chill.
Crumble and add bacon pieces on top before serving.

“This is one salad I do love. The fresh broccoli and crunch of the onion make it so good. It is much better fresh the day you make it. This is a great way to get in some healthy vitamins in your diet as well.”-Tammy
