What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Foodstuff Redefined: Onion Broccoli Florets! Sweet onions, whether they are Vidalias grown in Georgia or Walla Wallas grown in Washington, are mild-tasting onions that fans wait all year to magically appear in the produce aisle. Combine them with the natural sweetness of raisins, the crunch of honey-roasted sunflower seeds, the earthiness of broccoli florets, and the smoky taste of bacon. Then watch it totally disappear at the next family reunion.
ONION BROCCOLI FLORETS
Ingredients:
1 stalk broccoli
2.5 ounce package real bacon bits
1/2 sweet onion, chopped
1/2 cup raisins
3/4 cup honey roasted sunflower seeds
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
Instructions:
Cut the stalk off a head of broccoli high enough so the florets fall away. Discard stalk. Cut each floret in half or quarters. In a large bowl, combine florets, real bacon bits, sweet onion, raisins, and honey-roasted sunflower seeds. Mix well. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, and sugar until blended. Add dressing to broccoli salad one hour before serving.
Wow! Looks yummy. Sweet onions will surely increase its taste 100 times. Thanks for recipe 😊.

Gail, it seems that between your potato salad and now your broccoli salad all I need to do is buy the burgers.
