Tasty Tuesday: Broccoli Salad

Believe it or not...my kids Love this! Probably has something to do with it having sugar and cranberries in it, but hey, at least their eating their veggies ; )

I have been trying to find different things to put in my kids lunch box. Something other than they typical pb&j, bag of chips, fruit cup, and juice box....booooooring , and not necessarily the healthiest.
So I remembered them liking this broccoli salad and made a big batch for them to put in their lunch.
It's good, healthy, and nutritional.......and not boring!

Here's how you make it:

chop all your veggies and put in a big bowl. Add your cranberries, then mix your mayo (I use half mayo and half sour cream), vinegar, and sugar. Pour over salad and toss.

Add your crumbled bacon and pecans on top (you can toast your pecans...I don't or you can add any type of nut you like)

Then let it set in the fridge for a couple hours or overnight. It taste much better two or three days after.

A great way to eat your greens....with a little sugar ; )

P.S. don't you just love that vintage fabric my salad is sitting on????  A sweet friend gave me a ton of it and couple other patterns too. Can't wait to play with it!! ; )
