Bacon & Broccoli Salad

I had Sunday dinner at my friends house today. She served this great Broccoli salad, sooo good I had to share!

Ingredients:
1 head of Broccoli, chopped
1 purple onion, diced
1/2 c raisins
1 c crumbled bacon
1 c shredded Sharp Cheddar cheese
1 c pecans, chopped

Dressing:
1/2 c Miracle Whip
1/4 c sugar
2 T vinegar

Directions:
Mix dressing ingredients together, adding more miracle whip or water until desired consistency is reached. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Mix all salad ingredients together (or layer if preferred).
Fold dressing into salad, until well mixed. OR serve on the side so that everyone can have the amount they need (plus leftover salad keeps longer)

This salad was fantastic.
My friend served it with pork chops and baked sweet potatoes.

It would be great for lunch, brunch, showers, hoidays, & potlucks.

I think it could be potentially quite dangerous if Blue cheese or Feta Cheese was substituted for the cheddar. (Am I drooling?)
