This is an old time favorite recipe, I tried making it with less mayonnaise to cut back on the fat. I added a little olive oil to help bind the dressing. Let me know what you think. This is a salad we make every year for special occasions, but I was craving it today. I have altered it slightly from the original recipe but it is still the best broccoli salad I have ever had. The bacon and the crunchy sunflower seeds make it a delicious combination with the grapes, broccoli and the slightly sweet tangy dressing. It has become a traditional holiday salad at Easter at Casa Linda (nick name for my home here in New Mexico.) I was craving it this past weekend and made a batch for my family. Here is the recipe and for those that have never had it – you must give it a try. I promise you will enjoy every bite.
