Broccoli Salad



Earlier this week, I made this Broccoli Salad.  Aren't they all about the same?  It is a pretty classic salad recipe, but I thought a good one to add to our recipe index when we are looking for yummy recipes on here.

Broccoli Salad

1 head broccoli, chopped small
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped or grated
1/2 c. raisins
8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 c. mayo
1/3 c. sugar
2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar

In a small bowl, combine mayo, sugar, and cider vinegar to form dressing.  In a larger bowl, combine broccoli, onion, raisins and crumbled bacon.  Pour dressing over mixture and mix to coat.  Refrigerate at least an hour before serving.

The version pictured above was made with Miracle Whip for mayo and Splenda for sugar.  I left the bacon out, although if company was coming I'd make the REAL thing.  Just trying to keep things somewhat healthy around here and those substitutions really worked out well for us for everyday.
