Fresh Broccoli Salad

There are many variations on this salad, such as using different nuts or raisins instead of the craisins.

2 heads fresh broccoli
1 red onion
1/2 pound bacon
3/4 cups craisins (or raisins)
3/4 cup sliced almonds (or slivered almonds or sunflower kernals)
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup white sugar (or you can substitute Splenda)
2 tablespoons vinegar

Directions
Cook bacon and crumble
Cut broccoli and onion into bite size pieces.
Combine with the bacon, craisins, your favorite nuts and mix well.
To prepare the dressing, mix the mayonnaise, Splenda and vinegar together until smooth. Stir into the salad, let chill and serve.
Put it into Tupperware so you can turn the bowl several times to evenly coat the salad. Tastes better the second day, so make ahead of time.
