Broccoli Salad

I absolutely big puffy heart LOVE this salad.  I'm a huge fan of broccoli and it can only be made better with onions and bacon.  It's a great summertime classic, but I'm very excited to have fresh broccoli year round to make it whenever I like.

1 large head broccoli, chopped

1 mild red onion, chopped

1 cup grated Swiss cheese

1/2 cup crisp cooked bacon

1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries, optional

1/2 cup cashews or peanuts, optional

Dressing:

1/2 cup sugar

1 cup mayo

2 Tbsp. white vinegar

Mix dressing and let set at least 3 hours before combining with other ingredients.
