Broccoli Salad

1. 8-10 cups of fresh broccoli cut into bite sized pieces
2. 1/2 red onion, cut into thin bite sized slices
3. 1/2 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
4. 3/4 cup raisins or craisins
5. 3/4 cup sliced almonds (I do not use these, Joey can't have them)
6. 1 cup mayonnaise
7. 1/2 cup white sugar
8. 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
9. salt and pepper
1. Combine broccoli with the red onion, bacon, raisins, and almonds in a large bowl.
2. To prepare the dressing, mix the mayonnaise, sugar and vinegar together until smooth. Stir into the salad.
3. Let salad chill for about 3 hours. It may not seem like enough dressing but after it chills the dressing marinates and is plenty. This also allows the flavors to meld.
4. Season with salt and pepper and serve
