Broccoli Salad

Broccoli Salad

1 head of broccoli, chopped to bite size pieces
2-3 green onions, chopped
couple handfuls of craisins
handful sunflower seeds

Dressing:
1 cup mayonnaise (I use miracle whip)
1/4 cup sugar
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

Combine all the ingredients, mix up dressing separately, pour over broccoli mixture and mix all together. Refrigerate for a couple hours before serving.

Love this salad in the summer. I never measure the ingredients and it's very flexible on additions. I know some people that use grapes instead of craisins, others that add bacon pieces, and even others that add peppers. This just reflects how I make it, and the things I like in it. I've added cauliflower and celery on occaision as well on occasion. Always a big seller at BBQ's and potlucks.

Mini Potatoes with Grainy Mustard and Lemon

We served this with our salmon the other night... and LOVED them! New recipe.



I found this recipe in Everyone Can Cook: Slow Cooker Meals. It's not a slow cooker recipe, but is one of the listed side dishes. Quick and easy to make.

Boiled Mini Potatoes with Grainy Mustard and Lemon

24-30 mini red or white potatoes, washed
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 Tbsp whole grain Dijon mustard, or to taste
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, or to taste
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice, or to taste
Salt and pepper to taste

Simply place the potatoes in a pot and cover with cold water. Gently boil the potatoes until just tender, 10-12 minutes. Drain well and place in a serving bowl. Toss in the remaining ingredients and serve the potatoes hot or at room temperature.

Everyone in our family really enjoyed these. Normally I just put a little butter and dill on mini potatoes, this was a nice change and a super yummy taste. I was, unfortunately, out of green onions though :(.
