Broccoli Salad
(Courtesy of All Recipes)
**This salad is one of favorites in the summer**

Ingredients:
8 slices of bacon, crumbled (I just use the microwave bacon - easier)
2 heads of broccoli, chopped
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1/2 large red onion, chopped
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/8 cup white sugar
2 tspns black pepper
1 tspn salt
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tspn fresh lemon juice

Directions:
If you are using regular bacon and not microwave, place bacon in a large, deep skillet
Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown
Drain and crumble
In a large bowl, combine broccoli, cheese, bacon, onion and raisins
Prepare the dressing in a small bowl by whisking together the red wine vinegar, sugar, pepper, salt, mayonnaise and lemon juice
Combine dressing with salad
Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve
