Broccoli Salad

This salad can be prepared in many ways.  Perhaps Bev is including her recipe that she shared with us when we visited John and Gena in 1985.  I used memories of that and the recipe Nellie Ann shared with at our Christmas 1992 to mix up a version we enjoyed for dinner at Lyle’s apartment, 2809 Lincoln Way Apt 309 in Sioux City, on the day of his graduation from Morningside College.  We also made a similar salad for Sunday dinner at Lisa and Lana’s apartment after helping them move to 421 Bowery Street #2 in Iowa City.  On that occasion I enjoyed an early morning walk about 12 blocks each way to get sunflower seeds and dressing.

• 1 bunch of broccoli (cut into pieces)
• 1 cup sunflower seeds (or chow mein noodles)
• 6 slices American cheese (cut into pieces)
• 4 slices ham (cut into pieces)
• 1 cup chopped celery
• 1 cup raisins
