Broccoli Salad

Ingredients:

• 2 bunches raw broccoli, florets only (5 to 6 cups florets)
• 1/2 medium red onion, chopped finely
  
• 1/2 cup raisins (one of the rare times that I prefer raisins to craisins)
  
• 10 to 12 slices bacon, fried and crumbled
• 1/2 cup chopped cashews or almonds
  
• 
  
• Dressing:
• 1 cup mayonnaise (we use half mayo, half plain yogurt. Hyrum didn't like the taste of only yogurt)
  
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 teaspoons sugar

Preparation:

Separate florets from broccoli stalks and chop into small to medium pieces. Combine salad ingredients; top with dressing mixture (we add it slowly and end up only using about 3/4 of the dressing). Chill and serve.
