Broccoli Salad

I made this salad this morning for our women's Bible study after church.  A few ladies said they liked it, so I thought I'd share the recipe.  The recipe is modified from Paula Deen's Broccoli Salad in her book The Lady & Sons Savannah Country Cookbook.

1 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1/4 cup sugar

1 head broccoli washed and cut into bite-sized pieces with hard stalks removed
7 slices of bacon cooked and crumbled
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup raisins
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese freshly grated
1 cup grape tomatoes

Whisk together the mayo, vinegar, and sugar.  Let the dressing sit while preparing the salad, so the sugar dissolves.  Layer the broccoli florets, bacon, onion, raisins, cheese, and tomatoes in a pretty bowl.    Whisk dressing again, and drizzle it on the salad.  Refrigerate and toss right before serving.
