Kim's broccoli salad

A yummy, crunchy summer broccoli salad
Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large heads Broccoli
  • 1/4 C Chopped red onion
  • 3 C Shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 pieces Cooked bacon

Dressing

  • 1 1/2 C Mayonnaise
  • 3 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tbsp Sugar
  • Milk

Instructions
 

  • Cut broccoli into small florets. I microwave for about2 minutes to soften them somewhat.
  • Fry bacon, cool, and crumble.
  • Add broccoli, bacon, onion, and cheese to bowl.
  • Mix all dressing ingredients and add a small amount of milk to thin. Whisk together.
  • Pour dressing over salad and mix.

Notes

  1. To save calories, stretch the mayonnaise by adding milk.
  2. This salad lends itself to many wonderful variations. Try adding sunflower seeds for my crunch and raisins for sweetness, flavor, and vitamins.
  3. This is one of my favorite leftover salads. Leftovers are somewhat less crunchy, but more flavorful.
