Broccoli Raisin Salad


Someone asked for this recipe so I'm posting it here. It is a family favorite and usually a hit with even kids who do not like broccoli

1 lb bunch broccoli, broken into bite sized pieces, chop the stem too
1/2 cup Raisins
4 slices cooked bacon, chopped (optional)
1/4 to 1/2 red onion, diced
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1/2 cup pine nuts(optional) I sometimes use pecans

Dressing
1/2 cup mayonaise
2 T sugar
2 T red wine vinegar

Combine salad ingredients in a large bowl. Combine dressings ingredients in a small bowl. Pour dressing over the salad, stir. Refrigerate a couple of hours or overnight. Serve and enjoy.
