ROCCOLI SALAD

I haven’t posted lately because food and I have had a love/hate relationship.
Or in my husband’s words…a hate/hate relationship.
I’m pregnant…and finally telling.
And now that I’m 17 weeks my appetite is back with a vengeance.

And all this baby wants is egg salad and mustard covered sandwiches.
And a whole lot of this broccoli salad.
I understand that broccoli covered in nuts, bacon, and mayo kind of defeats the whole purpose of eating broccoli. But what baby wants…baby gets.

Ingredients:

8-10 cups of fresh broccoli cut into bite sized pieces
1/2 red onion , cut into thin bite sized slices
1/2 pound bacon , cooked and crumbled
3/4 cup raisins or craisins (see Note)
3/4 cup sliced almonds , toasted
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
salt and pepper

Instructions:

Combine broccoli with the red onion, bacon, raisins, and almonds in a large bowl.
To prepare the dressing, mix the mayonnaise, sugar and vinegar together until smooth. Stir into the salad.
