BROCCOLI GRAPE SALAD
I got this recipe from one of my close friends. She made this for one of our cookouts at Mineral Lake and everyone just fell in love with it. We all had to have the recipe and so I wanted to share it with everyone too. Noone would think that grapes would go with broccoli but it sure does. The dressing really sets off the salad. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
