Not Your Typical Salad

I am typing this as we are getting ready to watch the UK vs. Hampton game so for starters, 

GO CATS!!!
Pursuit of Perfection!!!
BBN!!!


Okay, now for the food. 

This new recipe is a classic that my mom has made for a long time, and even if your not a vegetable lover (like my husband) you can not go wrong with this kind of salad. 

Broccoli Salad 
Serves 14-16 

2 pounds of bacon (cooked & crumbled)
1 cup raisins
1 medium red onion (chopped) 
1-2 large broccoli heads 

Dressing: 
1 cup mayo 
1/4- 1/2 cup sugar 
2-3 Tbsp white vinegar 



Start out cooking your bacon until crisp and crumble into pieces. Add bacon, raisins, onion and broccoli into a medium bowl and stir. Refrigerate. 

**Can substitute bacon for bacon bits if you are in a rush**

In a separate bowl (we use a mason jar with a lid) add the mayo, sugar, and white vinegar then shake until mixed well. Refrigerate and pour onto the broccoli salad about an hour prior to serving so the salad doesn't get too soggy. 

You can really make this salad to suit whatever it is you like in it. We use broccoli, raisins, bacon, and red onions with the dressing but you can also put in sunflower seeds, pine nuts, or almonds. This salad normally can serve 14-16 people but you can half it if you don't need that much.
