broccoli salad 

Let me tell y'all... I used to not be adventurous with food. My husband would get all cranky when I'd order the same thing every time we went out for dinner. I was totally vanilla with vanilla sprinkles. 
I've come a long way! 
When I first saw this recipe, I thought holy crap this is the weirdest thing! But I kept seeing it and just knew I needed to try it. 
I am so glad I did and I bet you will be too! 

Ingredients: 

• 1 package 16oz broccoli (I use frozen but you can use fresh)

• 1 cup grated carrots

• 1 cup mayonnaise

• 1/4 cup sugar

• 2 tbsp white vinegar

• 1 tsp slap ya mama seasoning

• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

• 1/2 cup red onion diced

Directions: 

• *first let me say, I love broccoli. But I hate raw veggies. It is a total texture thing for me. If you like that, you may like to keep it raw like most of the recipes for this calls for*

• In a pot large enough for broccoli, boil water

• When it is at a rolling boil place broccoli in there

• After a few minutes it should be tender

• Put the carrots in there for a minute so they will soften

• Pour out the pot into a strainer

• Let it cool

• While it cools make the "sauce"

• Add the mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar and slap ya mama seasoning

• Add diced red onion

• Mix

• When broccoli mixture is cooled, add it to the sauce mixture

• Add cheese

• Place in the fridge to chill until serving
