Broccoli and Raisin Salad

4 Cups broccoli flowerettes
1 Cup grated cheese
1/2 Cup raisins
1/2 Cup chopped pecans, peanuts or cashews
1/2 Cup chopped red onion
8 Slices crisp fried bacon, crumbled

Dressing
1/4 Cup sugar
1 Cup mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons white vinegar

Combine ingredients in large bowl and gently toss to mix. Combine dressing ingredients in small bowl and stir until sugar dissolves. Pour over broccoli mixture and stir gently. Chill before serving.

(If making the day before serving, do not add nuts and raisins. The nuts get soft and the raisins get too plump.)
