Step 1

Start by prepping the head of broccoli. Trim off the large leaves and cut out the tough stalks of the broccoli. Rinse the vegetable well. Slice the broccoli florets and stems into small bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Transfer the broccoli pieces into a large bowl. Add bacon, sharp cheddar cheese, onion, and raisins and mix well.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine sugar, cherry tomatoes (or grapes), white vinegar, and mayonnaise. Mix well until combined.

Step 4

Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and coat evenly.
