Council House Cafe Broccoli Salad.

This salad is so good, it is ridiculous! (See Creamy Cabbage Soup recipe below for info on the Council House Cafe in French Camp, Mississippi.)

Broccoli Salad

3 stalks broccoli, trimmed down to crowns

Dressing:

Stir together:
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sugar
2-3 TBSP white vinegar
Then add:
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 diced red onion
1/2 cup bacon, fried and diced (I cheat and use the canned real bacon in the salad dressing section.)
3 roma tomatoes, diced

Pour dressing over broccoli crowns and mix well. Serve over lettuce leaves, if desired. Salad will last several days in the refrigerator.

(I find that it is best to make the dressing a little bit ahead of time so that the sugar fully dissolves. I don't like it to be grainy. The vinegar really helps this process.)
