    Default Broccoli Salad Yum

    Ingredients:

    2 bunches broccoli, florets only (5 to 6 cups florets)
    1 medium red onion, chopped
    1/2 cup raisins (I used Craisins instead...........the dried Cranberries, more than 1/2 cup)
    10 to 12 slices bacon, fried and crumbled ( be sure you fry to crispy so it will crumble)

    Dressing:
    1 cup mayonnaise ( I used 1/2 cup of yogurt and 1/2 cup of Mayo)
    2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar- I added some white vinegar
    2 teaspoons sugar

    I added a bunch of grapes..... and a lot of sunflower seeds. I didn't measure. You could also add nuts
    Preparation:
    Separate florets from broccoli stalks. Save the remainder of the broccoli for another use or freeze for later. Combine salad ingredients; top with dressing mixture. Chill and serve.

    Enjoy!
