The book has this recipe more than once. Also here as Broccoli Salad in Recipe Box. Same dish, different piece of paper — kept separately on purpose, because each copy came into the house its own way.
Read this one with the card open. Something on it is illegible, missing or ambiguous. It is transcribed exactly as written — nothing has been guessed or filled in — and every uncertainty is marked below.
Summary
A broccoli-bacon salad with a sweet mayo-and-vinegar dressing, attributed on the card to "Mom" — filed with the ingredient lists intact but no assembly directions at all, so it needs a second source before it's cookable.
Ingredients
Salad: - 1 head broccoli - 1/2 red onion - 1/2 lb bacon - 1 cup sunflower seeds - 1/2 cup raisins - 1/2 cup mushrooms
Dressing: - 1 cup mayo - 1/2 cup sugar - 2 tbsp cider vinegar
Method
⚠ Not stated on the card. Neither side of the card has any assembly or preparation directions — no instruction on chopping, whether the bacon is cooked and crumbled first, when the dressing is added, or how long it should sit before serving. Only the two ingredient lists (salad, dressing) are written.
Notes on the artifact
Two-sided handwritten card on a yellow herb-border floral template, unbranded card stock (no manufacturer mark visible). Card fields: Recipe: Broccoli Salad. From: Mom. "Serves," "Cooking time," and "Preheat oven to" are all left blank. Card shows light staining on both sides.
