brocolli raisin salad recipe?

  • Does anyone have a recipe for that salad that has brocolli, raisins (maybe nuts) with a sweetened mayo dressing? You see it a lot at pot luck dinners. Thanks!
  • Since I wanted to make this for Memorial Day, I found a regular recipe and adapted it. I thought others might want to try it too.

  • I know this was written a while back, but I just tried a Broccoli salad recipe from one of my old WW magazines, and it was sooo delicious...and I don't even consider myself a big raisin fan.

    This sounds great. I might make it and leave out the turkey bacon. I don't know why, but raisins have been tasting real good to me (and I love broccoli) - it's a great combination. Thank you!
  • Here is the broccoli salad that my ww's leader gave me. 1 bunch raw broccoli chopped, 1 cup fat free shredded cheddar cheese, 4 slices bacon fried crisp & crumbled, 1 small onion chopped, 1/4 cup rasins. Combine all in a large bowl & add following dressing. Blend in a small bowl & add to salad, 1 cup fat free mayo, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 Tablespoon vinegar. Mix salad well & chill at least a hour. Enjoy.
    1 cup = 2 points.
