Broccoli Salad

• 2 bunches broccoli, cut into florets
• 1 lb bacon
• 1 (2 1/4 ounce) cansliced black olives
• 1 cup walnut pieces
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 12 cup sugar
• 14 cup cider vinegar

1. Fill a large pot about 2/3 full of water and bring to a boil.
2. Add the broccoli and cook for about 1-2 minutes.
3. Drain the broccoli and add cold water.
4. When the broccoli has cooled drain again.
5. Let the broccoli sit in the colander for a while until the broccoli has no more water in it.
6. While the broccoli is draining cook the bacon until crisp.
7. Crumble or chop it into 1/2 inch pieces.
8. Break the walnuts into pieces or chop it if you would like.
9. Put the broccoli into a bowl, add the bacon, walnuts and black olives.
10. In a small bowl whisk together the mayo, sugar and vinegar.
11. Pour this over the broccoli and stir.
12. I like to do this shortly before serving because the bacon stay crisp so if I am taking it somewhere I take the dressing in a seperate bowl.
