Felice's Broccoli & Bacon Salad

This is a recipe from my friend, Phyllis. It's become a favorite and goes well with so many things... even if you don't think you like broccoli, I think you will smile at this one!

(48% calorie reduction from traditional recipe)

1 large head broccoli
1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced
1/2 cup raisins - golden raisins
1/3 cup chopped pecans or sunflower seeds
3/4 cup light salad dressing or mayo
2 TBSP fat free milk
2 TBSP white vinegar - white wine vinegar
3-4 envelopes of Splenda
Salt and pepper to taste
4 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled.

Clean, trim and chop broccoli into large bowl. You can blanch the broccoli if you wish. Add onions, raisins, and pecans.
Mix together salad dressing, milk, vinegar and Splenda, stirring
until smooth. Pour dressing over salad; add salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate. Top with bacon bits before serving. Best made a few hours before serving.
