This is the recipe I picked up from this newsletter two years ago

Prep Time: 10 Minutes

Cook Time: 15 Minutes Ready In: 25 Minutes

Yields: 6 servings

* 5 cups fresh chopped broccoli
* 1 pound bacon - cooked and crumbled
* 1 cup raisins
* 1 cup mayonnaise
* 1/2 cup white sugar
* 2 tablespoons white wine
* vinegar
* 1 red onion, chopped
* 1 cup sunflower nuts

Directions

Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Crumble and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the broccoli, bacon, onion, nuts and raisins. Whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar and vinegar. Pour dressing over broccoli mixture, toss and refrigerate.

This tastes just like the Broccoli salad sold at Super Wal-Mart deli's

Thanks so much, this will save me so much money, lol. I buy this stuff ALOT!!

Thanks for posting this. I love this salad but don't purchase it very often at the deli as it is way too expensive. Now I can make it myself! Thanks again!

was way too much sugar for me . . . cut in half, was still too much; dressing was much thicker than what I get at my WalMart, but I have to chop theirs up more so I can eat it since I don't have any teeth. Thanks, it;s a start though.
