For those of you who claim to not like veggies, let me tell you - I'm not a fan of raw broccoli, at all. It kinda makes me gag. And yet I could have plates and plates of this stuff. Maybe it's the bacon...or the ranch dressing...or the cheese...or the sugar - did I mention the only redeeming factor in this dish is the broccoli? But boy is it good. Smack your husband good. I highly recommend you serve it to whoever in your life needs a hug - or a smack.
Chris's Broccoli Salad
3/4 cup Miracle Whip

Mix dressings, cheese, and sugar in a large bowl.
Add remaining ingredients and mix lightly.

i am NOT a miracle whip fan.
ReplyDeletebut i love me some bacon, and i'm trying to serve healthier fare at the wan house, so maybe i'll give this a shot.
Hmm. I don't like mayo-laden things. But, if you don't like potato and macaroni salads like I don't like them, and you like this, then maaaaaybe I would like this. ;)
ReplyDeleteHmm...I don't like raw broccoli either...
ReplyDeleteI made a vegetarina version of broccoli salad not long ago but I think I still like mine with bacon:D
ReplyDeletei actually love me some potato and macaroni salads, so i'm guessing i would puffy <3 this!
ReplyDeleteoh, and if you ever need a light potato salad recipe, give this one a try. huge hit when i served it a few weeks ago.

I haven't made this with Ranch dressing before, my recipe just calls for Mayo. But I bet the Ranch gives it a better flavor! Great Recipe! I am a fan of coleslaw with BBQ.
ReplyDeleteOh this looks amazing! I have only recently discovered I like broccoli and I only like it raw. I would probably use mayo because I like it better than miracle whip though.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I had a salad like this once with raisins in it and it was soo good--I wonder if this is about the same thing? I'll have to give it a shot.
