Tangy Broccoli Salad

Today Cathy shares another great vegetable salad! -- ML

This is a recipe that I sampled at County Market last year and have since brought it to a couple family functions.

TANGY BROCCOLI SALAD

3/4 cup Miracle Whip dressing
2 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp vinegar
1 bunch broccoli, cut into florets (6 cups)
1 jar of Hormel Real Bacon Bits (or pieces)
1 small red onion, chopped
1 bag of iceberg lettuce

MIX dressing, sugar and vinegar in large bowl.

ADD remaining ingredients EXCEPT lettuce; mix lightly.

REFRIGERATE at least 1 hour before serving. (NOTE: This salad is actually best when made the night before.)

ADD the bag of lettuce JUST before serving.

Shirley's Wonderful Salad

Here's an easy and interesting side dish salad with a salute to Shirley . . . wherever you are. -- ML


THIS is perhaps my family's favorite salad. It has been a HUGE hit at family gatherings. I got the recipe from my husband's aunt who brought this years ago to one of their family get togethers. PS: No one knows WHO Shirley is.

SHIRLEY'S WONDERFUL SALAD

1 head of red leaf lettuce
1 head of iceberg lettuce
1 head of cauliflower
2 jars Hormel Real Bacon Bits

Dressing:
1-1/2 cups salad dressing (or mayo....I use Miracle Whip)
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 c. chopped green onion
MIX AND REFRIGERATE THE NIGHT BEFORE

Break up lettuces and cut cauliflower into small pieces. Mix with bacon bits, dressing and seasoned croutons JUST before serving. Mmm Mmm good!
