I am a lucky girl to have a sister in law that I actually love to be around, and it's not just because of her good cookin'. There are people in our lives who are such inspiration and encouragement, and my sis Karen is just like that. I lub her! Well, usually a few times a year we'll have a meal with the family where a new dish will be added to our list of favorites. Karen made this a few years back, and this cool crisp salad has been a winner ever since. It's an evolving recipe for me, sometimes I add bunches of goodies to it to dress it up, and sometimes I'll leave it plain. It's just good. On a hot Oklahoma summer day, this makes a great lunch. Thanks for sharing Karen.
Broccoli Salad
5-6 broccoli florets (new cook tip- the part of the broccoli that looks like a tree)

1/3 cup sugar (or sub with splenda according to taste)
2 tbsp vinegar
