But unlike traditional broccoli salad, the dressing (usually made with granulated sugar), gets sweetened with honey. The only ingredient not mentioned in this recipe is crispy, crumbled bacon, which I like to add as the final topping when served. If you don't have cashews on hand, you can use almonds or whatever nuts you like best. I sometimes use raisins as opposed to dried cranberries in my salad, so per...

Those who are sick or shut-in and in need of prayers for whatever the need: Burt Barber, David and Joyce...
