CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI SALAD

This is a quick fix recipe but does need to be chilled a couple of hours before serving.

2 cups cubed cooked chicken breasts
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sugar
5 tbsp raspberry vinegar
1/2 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled
4 cups small broccoli florets
1/2 cup dry-roasted cashews
1/2 cup sunflower kernels
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup golden raisins

In a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar, and vinegar to make the dressing.  Whisk until well blended; set aside.

In a large bowl combine the chicken, bacon, broccoli, cashews, sunflower kernels, chopped onion, and raisins.  Add the dressing and stir until well coated.  Cover and chill a couple of hours to let the flavors blend.

Yield: 8 cups of salad
