Fresh, Healthy & Delicious

"This was on the table at a potluck party/Christmas party at my wife's last job, and I hunted down the chef and begged her for the recipe. I'm not usually a non desserts kind of person, but this stuff is amazing! Trust me, try it..."
​
I have served this up a few times and people always ask for me to make it again and again.  Once you make it once you will making it throughout the year and not just for pot lucks and holidays.

​Ingredients

• 1 pound bacon
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons cider vinegar
• 1/2 cup white sugar

 

• 2 pounds fresh broccoli, broken into florets
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1 cup roasted cashews
• 1/4 red onion, finely chopped

Directions

1. Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Cool bacon and crumble into pieces.
2. Whisk together the mayonnaise, cider vinegar, and sugar in a mixing bowl until the sugar has dissolved. Add the broccoli, raisins, cashews, onion, and crumbled bacon. Stir until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 2 hours. Let stand at room temperature 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
