When I make broccoli salad, I usually make my Mom's broccoli salad - which is probably the version most people are familiar with. It's got raisins (or craisins), red onion, sunflower seeds, and bacon in it. And it's delicious.
One night I wanted to make some broccoli salad, but didn't have all the ingredients on hand. Namely, I was lacking red onion, sunflower seeds, and, well, bacon. But hey - I had the broccoli! I turned to the Internet, and quickly found an alternative combination ... this apple version ... for which I had all the ingredients on hand.
I whipped it up for dinner, and was very pleased with the result. Mark and I both declared it a keeper, and decided we really liked the apple in it.
So, if you have a hankering for broccoli salad and find yourself missing some ingredients ... or just don't feel like frying up some bacon, ... give this apple version a try. It makes up a really nice and tasty salad.
