A perfect salad for summer park events and barbeques. Swim team was always a big summer event for kids and families in our little town. Regardless of ability, all local swimmers participated in our municipal teams, unless your family was a member of a private club.
This is a simple salad made with homemade slaw dressing, blanched broccoli flowerets, sunflower seeds, red onion and dried cherries.
Following each home meet, the team families would have a potluck picnic at our local community lakefront park. This salad was a mainstay of potluck salads.
