Broccoli Salad Supreme

I love broccoli salad.  This one sweetens it up a bit.

10 cups broccoli florets (about 3 1/2 lbs)

6 cups seedless red grapes (about 3 lbs)

1 cup sliced celery

6 green onions (sliced)

2 cups mayonnaise

2/3 cups sugar

2 Tbsp cider vinegar

1 lb sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled

1 1/3 cups sliced almonds (I like Fresh Gourmet honey roasted sliced almonds)

 

In a large salad bowl, combine the broccoli, grapes, celery and onions.  In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sugar and vinegar.  Pour over broccoli mixture and toss to coat

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.  Just before serving, gently stir in bacon and almonds.
