Broccoli Salad

This is another of Mema's classic recipes--SO good! I have substituted plain yogurt for the mayo, and it's just as good, if not better!

1 bunch broccoli
1/2 red onion
1 lb. bacon
1/4 c. sugar
2 TB. apple cider vinegar
1 c. mayonnaise or Miracle Whip
1 pkg. slivered almonds (optional)
1 c. raisins or craisins

Cut broccoli into bite size pieces; dice onion. Cook bacon until crispy and crumble into bowl with broccoli. Add onion, almonds, raisins or craisins, vinegar, sugar, and mayonnaise. Toss to blend. Let stand in refrigerator before serving.
