Broccoli & Pasta Salad

This delicious and fresh salad was a huge hit at my 4th party this year (yea yea I know I'm a little late posting!) I got it from the lovely Southern Living website and I will definitely be using it again soon!

Ingredients:

1 cup chopped almonds

16oz pasta (I suggest bowtie or rigatoni)

1 1/2 lbs fresh broccoli

1/3 c diced red onion 

2 cups seedless red grapes

8 bacon slices cooked and crumbled 

Sauce: 

1 cup mayo

1/3 cup sugar

1/3 cup red wine vinegar

1 tsp salt

Prepare pasta according to package directions. 

Cut broccoli into small pieces, and halve grapes. 

Whisk together all sauce ingredients and pour over broccoli, cooked pasta, onion, and grapes in large bowl and stir to coat. 

Cover and chill 3 hours. Add bacon and almonds to salad just before serving.

You may find this gone so quickly you will need to double your recipe!
