Roberta's Broccoli Salad

INGREDIENTS:
Salad:
1/2 C. nuts (Grandma uses pecans)
2 C. raw broccoli florets
1 C. seedless grapes halved (green or red work.  Grandma says that since the broccoli is green she likes to use red for color)
2 bananas chunked

Dressing:
3/4 C. mayonaise

Mix and pour dressing over the salad.

Note: can mix the dressing in the bowl and then add the salad stuff if you are going to use it soon.
