Salads

For our big family dinner while we were in Utah we had a potluck salad dinner. Here are a couple of the recipes Mom made.

Broccoli Salad Supreme

2 large bunches broccoli

1/2 pound bacon - crisped & crumbled

1/2 medium red onion - chopped or rings

1 cup celery - chopped

1 cup raisins

1 cup sliced mushrooms - optional

Cashew halves sprinkled on last minute with the bacon

Dressing

3/4 cup mayonnaise

3 tablespoons sugar

3 tablespoons cider vinegar

Note from Mom:

"I peel a lot of the broccoli stalk and chop it in. I like the broccoli quite small. Enjoy!"

Oriental Chicken Salad
