Broccoli Salad

INGREDIENTS:

Salad:
2 branches broccoli florets
1/2 medium red onion, chopped fine
8 slices of bacon, fried & crumbled
2/3 cup raisins or halved grapes or craisins
1/2 cup sunflower seeds (or almonds, or mixed nuts, or whatever nut you like)

Dressing:
1/2 cup mayonnaise or oil (I usually use canola oil)
1/4 cup sugar (I usually use a little less than 1/4 cup because I don't like it too sweet)
2 tablespoons vinegar

Directions:
Whisk dressing ingredients separately until smooth, then toss with salad ingredients. Enjoy! I really take liberties with the recipe. If you don't have everything on hand, you can leave out an ingredient and it will still taste good!
