THE BEST BROCCOLI SALAD

Ingredients

  • tops of 2 bunches of fresh broccoli
  • 1 small sweet or red onion, chopped
  • 10 to 12 slices crisp bacon, crumbled
  • 1 can sliced water chestnuts, optional
  • 1/2 cup raisins, optional
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar

Preparation

Step 1

1. Make this at least 2 hours in advance so the dressing can soak into the broccoli.

2. Mix all your ingredients together (except bacon) in a large bowl, adding the mayonnaise last.

3. Put your crumbled bacon aside in fridge until ready to serve. Sprinkle over top when you're ready to serve.
