11Jun2013Citrus Broccoli Salad This Citrus Broccoli Salad combines oranges, craisins, sunflower seeds, and broccoli for a tangy and flavorful side dish – perfect for your next picnic or BBQ! We’re big on side dish salads in our family. My Mom and Grandmom are known for their potato salad, spaghetti salad, and macaroni salad. It’s just not a BBQ at our house unless there’s an assortment of salads to go with the grilled burgers and dogs! Now I’ve had some AMAZING broccoli salads in my day, and I feel somewhat of an expert because broccoli is just about my favorite veggie. At our old church in Philadelphia, one of the amazing older ladies makes a broccoli salad with bacon – I mean come on. That’s a winner before you’ve even tasted it, right? This Citrus Broccoli Salad? It’s SO much different than the typical mayo slathered version. The salted sunflower seeds give it a great nutty crunch and is great with the semi-sweet dressing. The oranges and craisins just take it over the top! Citrus Broccoli Salad adapted from Betty Crocker 3 cups chopped fresh broccoli 1 oranges, peeled and cut into small chunks 1 cup craisins 1/3 cup roasted salted sunflower seeds 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup orange juice 1 teaspoon sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt In a large bowl, toss together the broccoli, orange chunks, craisins, and sunflower seeds. In a small bowl, stir together mayo, orange juice, sugar, and salt. Pour over broccoli mixture in larger bowl. Stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours, or overnight. Serve cold.

People who promote sports tickets without fees are called concert promoters and hall owners more leery than they already do. See you at the next show! An artist who quickly sells out small venues is worth keeping tabs on the proceedings, this can be used when buying these discounted sports tickets without fees. There are a lot of downloads from that particular song.My page :: buy tickets online for concertsReply
