A wonderful crunchy salad... 6 servings

10 slices bacon
1 head fresh broccoli, cut bite size pieces
1/4 cup red onion, chopped
3 T white wine vinegar
2 T Splenda
1 Cup Mayonnaise
1 Cup sunflower seeds

Directions
1 Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside. (I used microwave

2 In a medium bowl, combine the broccoli and onion. In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, splenda and mayonnaise. Refrigerate for at least two hours. Overnight is better.

3 Before serving, toss salad with crumbled bacon and sunflower seeds.

I didn't think I would like this but I did and so did everyone in the house! They ate it all up.. Let me know what ya'll think...

Since I've been making this more and more, I have been buying the bulk crumbled bacon from Sam's CLub and adding that and the sunflower seeds just before I have a dish. It taste better w/these not soggy. I also like a little extra onion. Ya'll don't know what your missin!

Thank you Susan, I'm glad I found LCE. I forsee the support being the edge I need to succeed. Let me know what u think of the salad.

Sharron: your cookbook is on my list of things to shop for today..Can't wait to try some new things.

One day at a time...

I made something like that last night--more of a confetti salad. Red and yellow pepper, cauliflower, minced onions, and cubed zucchini. Coated it with Newman's olive oil and vinegar dressing. It still didn't taste quite right so I put in crumbled cooked bacon and 1 packet of splenda. It was very appealing looking, and everyone in the family loved it.

Bringing this to the top to answer the question in the other thread.

I have some broccoli slaw in the fridge --- sounds like a good thing to do with it for lunch tomorrow.
