1 lg. head broccoli (about 1 1/2 lbs.)
10 slices bacon, cooked & crumbled
3 green onions, including tops, sliced
1 c. seeded green grapes, cut in half
1/2 c. raisins, steeped in boiling hot water & drained
1/2 c. mayonnaise
1/2 c. sour cream
2 tbsp. cider vinegar
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 c. chopped cashews or pecans

Trim off leaves of broccoli, remove the tough ends of lower stalks, wash broccoli thoroughly. Cut the stems into uniform bite size pieces. Cover with boiling water and boil for 2 minutes leaving the pieces very crisp, strain and cool under cold running water and drain well. Place in large bowl, add bacon, onions, grapes and raisins, combine remaining ingredients except nuts and mix well. Add dressing to broccoli mixture and toss gently. Garnish with nuts, cover and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours. Yield: 8.

NOTE: Cooling the broccoli under cold running water prevents the pieces from continuing to cook and help keep the bright green color.
