    List of Ingredients




    Ingredients
    1 head broccoli
    6 to 8 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
    1/2 cup chopped red onion
    1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (I just chopped a regular tomato)
    1/2 cup raisins, optional
    4 ounces sharp Cheddar, cut into very small chunks (optional)
    1/4 C sunflower seeds or slivered almonds

    Dressing:
    1/2 cup mayonnaise
    1 tablespoons white vinegar
    1/8 cup sugar
    Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

    Directions
    Trim off the large leaves from the broccoli stem. Remove the tough stalk at the end and wash broccoli head thoroughly. Cut the head into flowerets and the stem into bite-size pieces. Place in a large bowl. Add the crumbled bacon, onion, raisins if using, and cheese. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients, stirring well. Add to broccoli mixture and toss gently. Add nuts just before serving to prevent sogginess.
