Angie's Broccoli Salad
I have been making some of my own recipes with tastes that I like. Here are a couple we are having for supper today.
Angie's Broccoli Salad
1 head fresh broccoli
1/4 grated cheddar cheese
1/3 cup chopped spanish olives
2 tbsp finely minced vidalia onion
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
3 tbsp Dukes mayonaise
You must use Dukes, you might even substitute Sauer's Mayo, but for any other mayonaises I can't say it will taste the same. I hate Kraft, Hellman's and all those other yucky mayo/dressings. Ack!!!
Wash and drain the broccoli. Snip the flowerettes apart in small bite sizes. Peel and slice thinly the tender stalks. Mix with all other ingredients and chill.
This goes well with some left over cold chicken diced, too. However, I did not add the meat to this dish tonight. Steve had too much meat last night.

I find Dukes a second to Sauers mayo, which used to be carried by Food Lion (now Bloom) in my region near Fredericksburg VA. I haven't been able to find it anymore at Bloom, Giant or Ukrops for over a year, so I've been buying Dukes instead. I'm happy with the sweet fresh taste of it and it is very similar to Sauers.
I will be happy to stay with Duke's because it appears Sauers is out of our area. I also agree with your anaysis of Hellmans and Kraft --- Ach! or Yuck!
