This may be the easiest and most
delicious salad I make. All my children love it and when I take it anywhere, it
is an instant hit. And, talk about GOOD for you. We all know that Broccoli has twice the vitamin C of an orange,
almost as much calcium as whole milk (with a better rate of absorption), and
contains anti-cancer and anti-viral properties with its selenium content.
It’s
important to note that broccoli is best when eaten raw, because cooking and
processing destroys some of its antioxidants.

All you
need for this recipe is: Broccoli, chopped—approximately 4 – 5 cups, 1 small
onion, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, 1 cup of Mayonnaise (or Miracle Whip), 2 tbsps
of white vinegar (I use white wine vinegar) and ¼ of a cup of sugar.
The rest is self explanatory: Chop the
broccoli and onion, grate the cheese. Mix the mayonnaise, vinegar and sugar and
mix the whole healthy wonderfulness of everything together. I told you it was
easy. Some people add cooked bacon, which is also wonderful, and something I
have done in the past—it just depends on your mood!
I find it is better if you make it
ahead and leave it in the refrigerator over night so all the flavours meld
together.
Easy peasy!! AND, super healthy for you.
