Broccoli Salad Recipe With Bacon And Raisins

June 25, 2018 1 Comment

Broccoli salad with bacon and raisins is my utmost favorite picnic food! If there is a pot luck supper or cookout and broccoli salad is on the table, you will find me right in front of the bowl grabbing a double-helping! One of the reasons for my unruly behavior is that I am “broccoli salad deprived.”

Why? Because my dear husband doesn’t like the sound of it, look of it, smell of it or taste of it. If I have it in the refrigerator, he complains. “Really? Doesn’t he understand that this broccoli salad is my FAVORITE?”

So, whenever there is a party coming up, I seize my opportunity! This is the dish I bring to pass. And I am not the only one who loves it. I make a big batch because, believe me, there will be nothing left. All gone! Everybody loved it.
There are several versions of this recipe online so I took my favorite parts of a few and put them together.
Here is my recipe:
