Festive Broccoli Salad Shared with us by Carol Shrum of Gastonia, North Carolina, this is one of those dishes you can add to any meal, in any season. We enjoyed it at our potluck and it was gone before we knew it! Ingredients:

2 heads broccoli, chopped into flowerets 1 red onion, chopped 1/2 to 3/4 c. sweetened dried cranberries 3-oz. jar bacon bits 1 cup mayonnaise 2 T. red wine vinegar 1/2 c. sugar Mix together broccoli, onion cranberries and bacon bits in a large bowl. Whisk together remaining ingredients in a separate bowl and pour over top of broccoli mixture, just before serving. Toss to mix. Serves 8.
