Ants in My Pants Broccoli Salad

Remember "bumps on a log"(raisins that lined celery stalks), the playful childhood snack that was supposed to look like ants? This time the "bumps" or raisins or ants, are a sweet delight and unexpected addition to cold broccoli salad.

Ingredients

2 whole bunches of broccoli (florets only)
1 whole celery stalk (thinly sliced)
1 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup raisins
10 slices of bacon (well done)
1 whole small red onion (finely chopped)
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 pinch sea salt
1 pinch pepper

Directions

In a medium salad bowl, add broccoli, celery, carrots and raisins. Toss ingredients together.

To prepare dressing, add mayo, salt and pepper to a mixing bowl. Slowly mix in sugar and vinegar until the consistency thins out.

Once you've tossed the dressing into the vegetables, add crumbled bacon to the top.

Serve cold.
