Broccoli Cranberry Salad

Who knew you would love fresh broccoli as much as you love steamed broccoli?

Thankfully, you and your brother are great eaters and broccoli happens to be one the top of that list.

I've made this salad before during our hot summer's but fresh broccoli never seemed to be your cup of tea.

Until now.

I always tell you when you grow older, you'll like more and more foods.

And this is becoming true, my dear.

Broccoli Cranberry Salad

2 large heads fresh broccoli, florets cut and washed

1/4 cup dried cranberries

1/4 cup diced red onion

1/2 shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup pecans

Dressing:

1 cup Mayo (not Miracle Whip)

1/4 cup Red Wine Vinegar

3 T. sugar

Salt and Pepper to taste

Whisk together dressing ingredients.  Toss in remaining ingredients.  Chill for several hours...or eat right away!  But chilled is best.

Serving suggestions:

Grilled chicken breasts with Salt Lick BBQ sauce, grilled corn on the cob, and diced chilled watermelon cubes.

Love you!

Mommy
