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!

I love this recipe but I have never added the grapes and will have to do that. Thanks as this is so good at family dinners and Easter is coming up!
