Mmmm Mmmm Monday: Broccoli Salad

My sister in law made this salad while we were visiting her in New York this summer, and hubby LOVED it. It was one of a handful of recipes that he insisted I get from Debby and make at home. I made it over the weekend for a BBQ and it was a BIG hit!

Broccoli Salad

2 bunches of broccoli florets (5-6 cups)

1 medium red onion, chopped or sliced

1/2 cup raisins

10-12 slices of bacon, fried and crumbled

OR

Baon Bits/Bac-o's (these work really well!!)

Dressing:
1 cup mayo

2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar

2 tsp sugar

Seperate florets. Combine florets, onion, raisins and bacon; top with dressing mixture and toss to coat. Chill & serve.
