Ready in: 2 hours 15 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 8

• 5 slices extra-lean turkey bacon, chopped

• 3 tablespoons white-wine vinegar

1. Cook bacon in microwave oven on high on a plate between 2 pieces of paper-towel for about 3 minutes, until slightly crispy. Chop or crumble.
2. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, vinegar, and sugar. Mix until slightly frothy.
3. In a large bowl, combine broccoli, onion, grapes, raisins, and bacon. Toss ingredients until well distributed.
4. Pour mayonnaise mixture over contents of the large bowl, and toss again until well mixed.
