Broccoli salad

Happy fourth of July to all my fellow Americans.  This is a great recipe for cookouts this summer!

This has the potential to be a no cook recipe if you buy pre-cooked bacon. For an easier way to make bacon, check my blog post on bacon here. This also has the potential to impress.

What you need:
Fresh broccoli (from a bag, I got mine as florets in a bag)
Red onion
Cheddar cheese, shredded
Bacon, crumbled
Mayo
Sugar
Red wine vinegar

What you do:
Cut broccoli into bite sized pieces (remove stems as much as possible)
Dice red onion and combine in a large bowl with broccoli
Add cheese ( as much as you want) and crumbled bacon
Mix 1/2 cup mayo and 3 tbs of red wine vinegar
Slowly add sugar to mayo mixture, dont let it get gritty.
Pour this mixture over the broccoli salad and stir.

Tips and tricks:
If the dressing (mayo mixture) does not look like enough, add some more of each ingredient. Some people (like me) like more sauce on my broccoli salad so I usually make more.
Make sure to taste the sauce and adjust the mayo to vinegar ratio to your liking.
The mixture should be smooth, not as thick as mayo and not gritty.
Use a wisk to mix the sauce so that the sugar gets dissolved.
This tastes better the next day.

Mix/stir before serving.

This is just a picture of the sauce, it is so good.
