Broccoli Salad

“This was a recipe that my mom found years ago. It is such an easy side dish to make but always a staple in our house, especially for the holidays. My mom combines fresh broccoli florets, raisins or cranberries, red onion, crunchy almonds — and yes, bacon, because even healthy salads can have a Mississippi flare. Proof that a “balanced diet” can mean broccoli in one hand and bacon in the other. This dish turns vegetable skeptics into broccoli lovers and has everyone asking for seconds.” - Sarah Ann Ratliff, RDN
