Broccoli Salad

I love finding new and easy ways to make up sides the night before so the husband can take it to work. This is another recipe and picture that I have found from www.genaw.com. I have changed a few things I just sprinkle a few bacon pieces and I omit the sunflower kernels to make it a little healthier. The people doing special diets will have to tweak it a little more. I loved the cauliflower salad recipe so much I wanted to also share this one with you also. Enjoy!!!

Cauliflower Salad

This picture and recipe is another from www.genaw.com. I love cauliflower raw...but the husband not so much. I make this up in one bowl and let it sit over night for the best taste. I have made some changes to the recipe though. I love more bite to my salad so I add about 4 teaspoons of dijon mustard. I omit the green onions and add a small amount of red onion. Lastly, I am lazy I don't cook bacon up to put in this I go and purchase the bacon pieces that go on salad and just sprinkle a little in to add a little bacon flavor. I am not supposed to have that much bacon sooo....that is why I love the convenience of the prepackaged kind.  I don't know if everyone will love this one but it is worth a try. The husband will actually raw cauliflower but only if I fix it like this. Enjoy!!!
