Broccoli Salad...with Bacon

Another mom-recipe of mine! Definitely worth passing on. It's great without bacon, too. There's a healthy way to do this (low fat cheese, sugar substitute, light mayo, etc) or the full on fat way. Your call.

• 1 large bunch fresh broccoli, cleaned and cut into 1" pieces
• 1 red onion, finely chopped (any sweet onion works well too. Especially Vidalia)
• 1 pkg. shredded cheddar cheese (I know, that could mean anything. Use what you like)
• 1 lb bacon, fried & crumbled (you can also use those fake bacon bits you find in the produce section, although who knows whats in that)

Dressing:

• 1/2 cup sugar (or sugar substitute...I guess)
• 1 cup mayo (light mayo works fine too)
• 2 tbsp vinegar

Just combine & toss with the dressing mix. The end.
