Elder's Quorum party fave: Broccoli Crunch Salad

Though ultimate frisbee was a hit at the recent Elders Quorum party held at Granite Park, Desiree's broccoli salad was the ultimate favorite. I treated myself to seconds and would have had thirds but felt it better to save a little for others at the party. With such rave reviews we had to post the recipe for all to enjoy. (Thanks, Desiree!)

By the way, if you ever put together an ultimate frisbee team make sure you choose Desiree as a teammate. She can hold her own on the field!

Broccoli Crunch Salad
Serves 5-6

1 bunch fresh broccoli chopped fine
1/4 cup raisins or craisins (I used craisins)
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
2 T sunflower seeds

Combine the above ingredients in a large bowl and toss.

Dressing
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sugar
2 T white vinegar

Whisk salad dressing and toss with salad right before serving.

Note per Desiree: "The dressing makes a lot. I did not use all the dressing on the salad. It was too much!"
