Broccoli Salad

I made this delicious Broccoli Salad from a recipe I got from my neighbor. The best thing about it is how unexpected it is. Raisins and bacon? Yes!!

I hope everybody had a lovely Labor Day! Ours, of course, included a cookout. Now that the summer is winding down, I’m really going to miss those yummy fresh salads.

Of course, you can make them any time of year, but they always seem to taste the best when you eat them on your back patio with friends and family as a side dish to something made on the grill.

So in honor of summer’s end, I made this delicious salad from a recipe I got from my neighbor. The best thing about it is how unexpected it is. Raisins and bacon? Yes!! Try it and see!
