BROCCOLI SALAD WITH BACON
AND SWEET-SOUR DRESSING

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 medium Vidalia onion, chopped
1 bunch broccoli, florets and stems separated
1/3 cup raisins
8 bacon slices, crisply cooked

ABOUT 3-4 HOURS BEFORE SERVING TIME:
Stir together the mayonnaise, sugar, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Add the vinegar a tablespoon at a time, stirring in well after each addition to thin evenly and prevent mayonnaise lumps. Add the onion. Cut the broccoli florets into small bite-size pieces and cut the stems into 1/3-inch slices. Stir the broccoli into the dressing and refrigerate. Stir several times before serving.

WHEN READY TO SERVE:
Stir in the raisins. Crumble the bacon and stir in. Taste and add salt as needed, stir in well, and taste again. Serve cold.
