Retro Recipe: Broccoli Salad
This is an oldie but still a favorite with my family and great to serve at parties, potlucks, holidays and barbecues.
I actually do not remember where I first tasted this salad but think it was either in the late 1970's or sometime in the 1980's. Yea, that long ago!
Years pasted and one summer after having a nice crop of home grown broccoli I decided to once again look up the recipe.
Broccoli Salad is simple to make, has ingredients you may already have on hand and is delicious.
And a great way to get kids to eat broccoli!
I have been
making Johnny Marzetti for years and years. Recently my son asked if I have all my recipes in our family
cookbook.
On further
inspection of my cookbook, (a Scrapbook Cookbook I made), I realized that I have not added recipes I use often
and know from memory. For instance my deviled
eggs recipe is missing, simply because I just whip them up. So for the last couple of weeks I have been
trying to add recipes that I know the kids love, but I have neglected to write
down.
One of those happens to be the Johnny Marzetti. I decided to find out a little history on the
creation of such an easy, delicious and well known recipe and was surprised to
find out it was created right here in Ohio.
