Martie's Broccoli Salad with Bacon and Cheese image

This broccoli salad recipe is from my mother-in-law Martie and is always a crowd pleaser at family events and church picnics. The combination of bacon, cheese, and raisins gives it a sweet and salty taste.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound bacon
1 head broccoli, or more to taste
1 red onion, chopped
1 cup golden raisins
1 (8 ounce) package shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

  • Combine mayonnaise, sugar, and vinegar in a small bowl. Pour over broccoli mixture. Mix until completely covered. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
