A most unlikely combination of flavors and textures, but certainly one you will want to make over and over. It quickly became a family favorite! The dressing is also good for cole slaw and spinach salad. I usually keep a container in the fridge for quick use!

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch broccoli - cut into bite sized pieces (no stems, please)
  • 1/2 purple onion, finely chopped
  • 1 C. red seedless grapes, halved
  • 1 C. California raisins
  • Dressing:
  • 1 C. Miracle Whip (mayonnaise will NOT work)
  • 1/4 C. sugar
  • 2 Tbs. white vinegar

Directions

Mix broccoli, onions, grapes and raisins in a large salad bowl and pop in the refrigerator.

Combine dressing ingredients in bowl and let it sit in the fridge for about an hour before adding to the broccoli mixture in order to let the sugar completely dissolve. The consistency will be much creamier if you let it rest.

Pour dressing over broccoli mixture right before serving.

  • Read the ingredients on the jars. Mayonnaise and salad dressing vary only slightly with a vinegar being the main difference.

  • Ahhh... the proverbial mayo vs. Miracle Whip questions.... I've used both - sorry can't tell the difference, especially when mixed with other stuff and also made this with fat free maye/Miracle Whip and plain yogurt. Anyway you make this it is great!! Rice vinegar is great also!
