Broccoli Salad With Raisin Recipe

"A very basic easy to make broccoli salad with raisin recipe I use when out camping."

I like having some sort of dried fruit in my broccoli salads and raisins are the best bet when you want something that keeps well without refrigerating.<<>>

This works well when camping and when I'm out working on the fishboat.

This salad will always taste better if you let is sit in the refrigerator(or cooler if camping) for a few hours before serving.

Make sure you stir it a few times to help blend the flavours.

Ingredients:

4 cups broccoli flowerettes
1/2 cup red onion-minced
1-2 celery-chopped
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup raisins

Dressing:

1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp celery seed

Chop broccoli flowerettes, onion, celery and put into salad bowl.

Add trail mix, raisins and dressing, and toss salad.

Add salt & pepper if desired, to taste.

Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.


Some options you may want to consider for this salad are:

-Any other dried or fresh fruit.
-Nuts and/or seeds
-More vegetables
-Spices like oregano, basil etc.

Mayonnaise can be replaced with yogurt or mixed 50/50. You might want to try your favorite flavored yogurt as well.

If you would rather not make dressing just use your favorite bottled one. It can be a creamy one like the one here or an oil/vinegar type.

As you can see this is a very basic salad so if you have something you think will enhance it just give it a try.
