This is an old standard but I really like it so I threw it in here. I actually got hooked on this stuff while working out in Colorado Springs…the office catering/cafeteria made this regularly. This is a great option if you need to bring a vegetable to a potluck. I found this particular recipe out on the internet somewhere, but unfortunately don’t remember the details. This serves 4 to 6 people.

Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
• 1 small onion, halved and thinly sliced
• 8 slices crisp bacon
• 3 tablespoons vinegar
• 1 cup plumped raisins
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1/3 cup sugar

Instructions

1. Pour boiling water over raisins to plump them.
2. Chop broccoli and onion.
3. Crumble crisply fried bacon.
4. Combine mayonnaise, vinegar, and sugar in a bowl and mix well.
5. Combine broccoli, onion, drained raisins, and bacon in a bowl.
6. Pour liquid mixture over broccoli mixture and toss until evenly coated.
