Submitted by franciepad on May 03, 2005 at 12:02 am

This is a really nice salad. I make it all year 'round and can make a meal out of it for myself.

6-8 slices of bacon
2 bunches fresh broccoli, chopped
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 large red onion chopped
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/8 cup white sugar (I substitute Splenda to my taste)
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice

Cook bacon till crispy; drain, crumble and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine broccoli, cheese and onion. Mix the red wine vinegar with the sugar, pepper, salt, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Add crumbled bacon and mix well. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. This makes about 8-12 servings as a side salad. Enjoy!
