Broccoli Salad

More than a decade ago, I attended a family party.  My Aunt made this broccoli salad, and at the end of the night, every relative walked out with a copy of the recipe in hand.  Ever since, this side dish has made an appearance at countless BBQs, potlucks, work parties, and regular dinners.   Give it a try and let me know what you think.
