Nutty and Sweet Broccoli Salad

I found this recipe in the cookbook Gardening and Cooking with Diane. If you are a vegetarian you could leave out the bacon or substitute with artificial bacon bits.

1. Break bacon into pieces and add just before serving.
2. Toss together the broccoli, onion, sunflower seeds, raisins, nuts, celery and bacon.
3. Mix dressing ingredients (mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar) well and pour over salad and serve.
