Broccoli Bacon Salad

This great side dish is prepared all summer long and on New Years Day along with ham sandwiches and baked beans. This stuff is so flavorful and even more addicting!

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 10-14

Ingredients

• 3  stalks broccoli, cut into bite size florets
• 1  small red onion, cut into thin ringlets (about a 1/2 cup or so)
• 12  slices  crispy bacon, crumbled
• 1  cup sunflower seeds, toasted
• 1⁄2 cup golden raisin
• 1  cup mayonnaise
• 1⁄2 cup sugar
• 2  tablespoons vinegar

Directions

1. Chop broccoli into small bite size pieces ( I use all but large end stems of broccoli heads). Place into a large bowl with red onion, crispy crumbled bacon, sunflower seeds and golden raisins. In a medium sized Tupperware add the mayonnaise, sugar and vinegar. Cover Tupperware tight with lid and shake well 1-2 minutes till well combined and sugar has dissolved. When ready to serve add dressing and toss till combined. ( I like to add dressing an hour or so before serving to let marinate, toss again right before serving).
