Description

A perfect salad for a crowd. Pasta and broccoli in a creamy dressing, loaded up with lots of other goodies! It is easy to cut in half if you’re not serving a crowd.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE SALAD:
  • 1 pound Spiral Pasta
  • 1 bag (10 Oz. Size) Fresh Broccoli
  • 1 pound Bacon, Cooked And Crumbled
  • ½ cups Red Onion, Diced
  • ½ cups Golden Raisins
  • ½ cups Roasted Sunflower Seeds
  • 2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • FOR THE DRESSING:
  • 1 cup Mayonnaise
  • ½ cups Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoons Garlic Powder

Preparation

Cook the pasta in boiling salted water, drain and rinse with cold water. Place in a large bowl. Cut the broccoli into bite size pieces, removing any tough stems. Add the broccoli, bacon, red onion, golden raisins, sunflower seeds and cheese to the large bowl with the pasta.

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayo, sugar, cider vinegar and garlic powder. Pour over the pasta mixture and stir gently to combine. Place in the fridge for a couple of hours before serving.

Enjoy!

I make a version of this salad without the pasta so I was excited to try your recipe. It was delicious! A hit with the whole family!
