Very different from the usual broccoli salad with sunflower seeds and raisins. I have no idea where this recipe originally came from we have been making it in our family for at least 25 years, and each time I bring it to pot-lucks or cookouts I am always asked for the recipe. I usually serve it with our Thanksgiving meal also just to have something fresh and crunchy. I hope you enjoy it too. Ingredients:
1 -2 head broccoli, washed and chopped stems,leaves and leaves all,if the stems are large,slice them thinner and then cu |
1 cup celery, sliced on the diagonal |
1/2 cup sliced ripe olives, drained |
1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained |
1 (4 ounce) jar mushrooms, drained,do not substitute fresh |
1 (5/8 ounce) package good seasonings italian salad dressing mix |
1 (16 ounce) bottle italian salad dressing |
Directions:
1. Open the liquid salad dressing and pour the dry mix into it.
2. You may have to poke the powder down with the tip of a knife to allow it to be mixed completely.
3. Re-cap and shake to mix.
4. Put all the remaining ingredients in a large bowl.
5. Pour the salad dressing over all and stir gently.
6. Cover with plastic wrap and chill at least 12 hours, and overnight is okay.
7. Give it a stir once or twice when you think about it.
