Old is New Again Broccoli Salad with Raisins
I love how everything old eventually comes back and is cool again. Like trends, fashion, design, and food recipes like Broccoli Salad with Raisins.
We went to Portland a few weeks ago for one of my many birthday celebrations and I was so impressed how my friend Steph’s kids devoured the same broccoli salad that I grew up eating!
Steph has a sort-of retro house, and she definitely knows how to make it relaxing and fun. Her favorite color is orange and the style has a 60’s feel to it. Too fun!
Right after dinner, I walked by and saw her out on the back patio reading to her kids. Couldn’t help but grab my camera.
She has the best kids who eat anything and everything. No pickiness at all! So it’s fun to sit around the table with them, plus they say the cutest things.
Cuteness plus a yummy old-fashioned salad works for me! And by the way, my mom always made this salad.
Which makes it old. But now it’s new again – on RE!

I just like to eat broccoli as-is … does that count as a salad? ;)
Looks really good – didn’t grow up eating this, but gonna have to start!!!
Broccoli Salad has never been out of style in my house! I leave out the tomatoes and use Craisins instead of raisins. Yum!
I have a broccoli/grape recipe that is similar to this.
I make it pretty much the same way minus the tomatoes, I also add sunflower seeds and sometimes cauliflower gets added to it as well. It is one of my fave salads
This is one of my favorites, now I want to make it!! I loved reading about your friend and her kids. :)
I remember making the salad years ago. Thanks for the reminder, I’ll be putting it on the menu again.
