Brodcoli Salad

Broccoli Salad that I served with my spinach stuffed chicken breasts was better than the one we had at a restaurant.  Here is the recipe:
 2- heads of raw broccoli
1- cup mayo
5-oz of slivered almonds
5-oz of craisins
1/2-LB bacon
1/2- cup of sugar
2-TBS white wine vinegar
1- medium red onion
cook bacon until crispy (I did mine in a 450* degree oven for about 20 min, I put the bacon in a cold oven and on a cold cookie sheet and it worked perfect).  Cut broccoli into bite size pieces and put in large bowl.  Cut red onion into little pieces and put in the bowl with the broccoli.  Crumble bacon and add to bowl with broccoli, add craisins and almonds as well.  In a separate bowl mix vinegar and sugar until sugar is dissolved then add the mayo  and mix will, then pour over broccoli and mix everything together.  We ate this right away because I made it late but you can also refrigerate for a little bit before serving.

Here is a picture of the salad
