Recipe for Brocolli and Raisin Salad

I bought some at the Jewel and it was delish, but at $6. a pound its too expensive to keep buying. It was just the brocolli and raisins with a creamy white kinda sweet dressing.  Anyone have the recipe for it, or something similar?

Thanks!

This might be the recipe you're looking for. I've made it more times than I can remember, and everyone always asks for the recipe. This recipe uses red grapes-but you could substitute raisins.
Dressing: 1 cup mayo, 1 T red wine vinegar, 1/3 cup sugar. Mix and refrigerate overnight.
Add: 2 cups chopped broccoli, 3/4 cup red grapes cut in half, 1/2 cup unsallted sunflower seeds, 1/2 cup chopped red onion. Mix and refrigerate at least one hour....

My family loves it!!!!  Mine is broccoli florets (several cups), 1/2 cup raisins (it's good with Craisins too) , and 1/4 cup or so chopped red onion.  I make a coleslaw-like dressing using about a cup of mayo with 3-4 T each of sugar and vinegar blended till smooth with a whip.  Just before serving I add a few pieces of chopped fried bacon and sometimes some grated cheddar.  EASY---and great, especially after the flavors marry for a day.

This is my favorite, but I like to use tortelinni for half the broccoli
