Over Mother's Day weekend, my dear daughter, Debbie, spoke for a Mother/Daughter tea. I enjoyed that time with 2 of my precious granddaughters too...Claira & Kaity. (Keep scrolling for a picture).
It was a lovely time. There was a large table with all sorts of vintage tea cups/saucers that we got to choose for our own. The men served us every course...beginning with the most delectable chocolate chip scone, and white ginger tea (my choice). The next course was chilled strawberry soup, served in a glass tea cup. SO delish! Then we got chicken salad on a croissant and the most wonderful broccoli salad I've ever tasted. They both had dried cranberries in them and we savored every bite. And I got to thinking...I need to make broccoli salad sometime, and there it was...right before me not long after....

Oh how I loved this broccoli salad - it was perfect!
I ended up taking it to a friend's and sharing it with one of her friends, and they BOTH asked for the recipe.
IT'S.THAT.GOOD!!
I chopped my broccoli in my Ninja chopper just to save some time. Be careful when using an electric chopper because it works quickly.
You can always chop by hand, but be sure to have a few bite sized pieces either way.
This is simple to make and is knock-your-socks-off delicious!
I used a tad less sugar and a couple more slices of bacon.
