Summer salads

With summer heat in full swing, I have lost the desire to cook. Especially if I have to turn on my oven. I decided to just make easy meals with cool salads as sides. With that, also giving my kids an opportunity to try something they may not like.

Colton doesn't like sauces or really even salad, so it has been interesting. He has been good though and taken his "no thank you" helping.

Morgan is my salad eater which is helpful, I can usually get her to try anything.

So here is one of my cool picks we tried out.

Broccoli salad. This is a favorite of mine. I ate half the LARGE bowl i fixed last night, and then more for lunch today. The kids were funny, they kind-of liked it, but would only have the "No thank you" helping.

Here's what I did:

5 cups of raw broccoli

1/2 cup raisins

1/2 cup sunflower seeds

1/2 cup bacon

1/4 cup red onion

1 cup frozen peas

For the sauce:

1 cup Mayo

2 Tb vinegar

1/2 cup sugar

Hope you give it a try and enjoy!
