This is my healthier version of an American classic. There is no way I was going to use Miracle Whip in my salad. Maybe give me another 10 years and I might reach for the jar but I am not over this one yet... So just a touch of mayonnaise and fresh lemon juice would do the trick for me. With this hot California weather, this is a perfect salad for the season. The broccoli, cauliflower and grapes are reminiscent of the fall but it is still a very refreshing dish for this heat wave... May be you can take it to the beach and enjoy the California sunshine...
½ bunch broccoli, chopped
½ bunch cauliflower, chopped
1 cup halved red grapes
½ cup raisins, chopped
1/3 cup salted and roasted sunflower seeds
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/3 cup light mayonnaise
1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
Place
the first six ingredients in a large bowl. Mix together the mayonnaise and lemon juice. Toss the lemon mayonnaise with the rest
of the ingredients. Mix well and
refrigerate until ready to serve.
