Sweet and Tangy Broccoli Salad

¾ pound bacon

2 heads broccoli, cut into florets

½ cup chopped red onion

½ cup raisins

1 cup mayonnaise

½ cup white sugar

½ cup distilled white vinegar

salt and ground black pepper to taste

Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate; crumble bacon.

Place broccoli, onion, raisins, and bacon in a large bowl.

Stir mayonnaise, sugar, and vinegar together in a bowl; pour dressing over broccoli mixture and toss to coat. Season with salt and black pepper.
