From the kitchen of Mom (Mary April)

Raw broccoli and cauliflower salads with sweet, creamy dressings became a phenomenon in American community cooking in the 1980s, when fresh vegetables began appearing more prominently on potluck tables. The cooked dressing in Mary April's version — sugar, mayonnaise, and cider vinegar — has older roots in the German-American tradition of sweet-sour dressings for vegetables and slaws.
