West Point Broccoli Salad

There are lots of broccoli salad recipes around, including one that is sold at Walmart. However, the original broccoli salad recipe was created by an US Army chef at West Point. Here is his recipe, which I got from a military wives recipe swap. It is amazingly good. I hope you enjoy it.


2 eight ounce packages of fresh broccoli florets (I put them in the food processor for a spin or two to make smaller at times)
8 slices of bacon crisply fried, drained and broken into small pieces
1 medium red onion, finely diced
1/2 cup of raisins, especially good with golden raisins
1/4 cup of sliced almonds, try smoked ones for a different test
1/4 cup roasted sunflower seeds
(I have added 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese to mine at times.)
Mix all ingredients in large bowl.
Mix in small bowl:
1 cup Miracle Whip (or mayonnaise with 1 Tablespoon of olive oil)
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup vinegar
Pour dressing on top of salad ingredients. Toss well. Refrigerate for 2 hours prior to serving.
