Broccoli Salad

"This is a yummy salad that uses an interesting combination of fruits, vegetables and meats. Before you decide you won't like it, try it. You'll be pleasantly surprised. You can add an extra head of broccoli, if you like."

Ingredients

2 heads fresh broccoli
1/2 sweet onion
3-4 stripes bacon
3/4 cup raisins (I like golden)

1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsps. white sugar
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar

Directions

Place bacon in a deep skillet and cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Cool and crumble. I do mine in the microwave about 3 minutes.
Cut the broccoli into bite-size pieces and chop onion finely. Combine with the bacon, raisins, nuts and mix well.
To prepare the dressing, mix the mayonnaise, sugar and vinegar together until smooth. Stir into the salad, let chill and serve.
