4 c. raw broccoli, chopped
1 c. celery, chopped
1/4 c. green onions, chopped
1 c. seedless green grapes
1 c. seedless red grapes
1/3 c. sugar
1 c. good quality mayonnaise
1 tbsp. red wine vinegar
1/2 lb. bacon, fried crisp and crumbled
2/3 c. almonds, slivered or sliced and toasted

Toss together the vegetables and grapes in a large salad bowl. Mix the sugar, mayonnaise and vinegar in a separate small bowl to make dressing. Pour dressing over vegetables and grapes and stir gently to allow dressing to coat evenly. Refrigerate overnight before serving, if time allows, for flavor to mix. Just before serving, add crumbled bacon and toasted almonds.

Serves 10 to 12.
