Brocolli Salad

My mom had been making this salad for years. I have seen all different versions of it, but basically they are all the same. All the recipes I've seen have featured a sweet and sour type dressing made from mayo, sugar, and vinegar. You can also vary the ingredients to what you have on hand. I've subbed fresh grapes for the craisins and thought it was delicious! Definitely plan on making this salad ahead of time to allow time for the flavors to blend.
