Potluck Broccoli Salad

Get ready to double or triple this one, it's THAT good! Anything that makes me say "more please" to broccoli is a good thing. Note that the broccoli wilts down some resulting in less than you start with. I didn't get any the last time I brought it to a picnic!

Ingredients

• 5 cups fresh broccoli florets
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
• 1/4 cup of red onion, chopped
• 1/4 cup of red pepper, chopped

• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons vinegar
• 1/2 cup sugar

Directions

Combine broccoli florets, raisins, sunflower seeds, chopped onion, and peppers in a large serving bowl. In a separate bowl or large cup, whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar and sugar. Add dressing to the salad and toss to mix well; chill thoroughly before serving. Best made the night before.

Broccoli salad serves 4 to 6.
