Broccoli Salad

Ingredients

1 head broccoli

1 pint grape tomatoes

6 to 8 slices cooked bacon, crumbled

1/2 cup finely chopped red or white onion

1/2 cup golden raisins

4 or 5 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded (our favorite is Hickory Farms smoked cheddar)

1 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons white vinegar

1/4 cup sugar

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

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. Place in a large bowl. Wash tomatoes and add to bowl. Add the crumbled bacon, onion, raisins and cheese. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients to make the dressing, stirring well. Add to broccoli mixture and toss gently.
