This comes from the 'Moveable Feasts Cookbook' published by Mystic Seaport (CT) Museum Stores. It's featured in the 'Superbowl Splash' section. I generally substitute plain yogurt for part of the mayo and use an equivalent amount of (imitation) bacon bits instead of real bacon. It's the crunch that counts here.
Ingredients:
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
4 cups fresh broccoli florets, chopped bite-size
1 cup red seedless grapes, halved
1 cup raisins or 1 cup dried cranberries
1/2 red onion, sliced thinly (about 1 cup)
10 slices bacon, fried and crumbled
1 cup sunflower seeds, toasted
Directions:
1. Combine mayo/yogurt, sugar, & vinegar in a large bowl, and stir in the remaining ingredients.
2. Refrigerate 2 hours or up to overnight before serving.
3. Taste before serving. Depending on the saltiness of the bacon, it may need a bit of salt.
