Broccoli Salad Recipe

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

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

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

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