Default Broccoli Salad

I saw this recipe in a "regular" cookbook and thought it sounded really good! The original called for 1/2 cup raisins, but obviously that's a no-no! (maybe a little diced pear?)

Broccoli Salad

2 heads broccoli
1 medium red onion
8 slices bacon
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sugar (substitute Splenda)
3 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 cup pecans, chopped

TO PREPARE:

Cut the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces. Peel the
broccoli stems and cut into thin strips. Cut the onion
into thin slices and separate into rings. Cook the bacon
in a skillet until crisp; drain. Crumble the bacon.
Combine the mayonnaise, Splenda, and red wine vinegar in a
small bowl and mix well.

To assemble, combine the broccoli, onion rings, bacon,
raisins and pecans in a large salad bowl. Add the dressing
and toss gently to evenly coat. Chill, covered, until
ready to serve.

Hi - The recipe I use has red peppers instead of onions, and adds sunflower seeds to the pecans. I like it a lot and it is great the next day too. I actually found a bacon dressing that was a little sweet that could be used in a pinch and has fewer calories (I watch them). I also sometimes make it with broccoli slaw - it is really fast that way.

I make something similar but use half broccoli and half cauliflower. I use much less mayonnaise - a couple of tablespoons sweetened with a bit of Splenda and thinned down with some whipping cream (heavy cream).

I use real mayo with splenda, so the dressing is sweet, but the carbs are gone.

Salted, non-roasted peanuts work well instead of pecans too.

This sounds so delicious I can't wait to try it. Has anyone who tried it added some kind of sweet fruit to substitute the raisins the original recipe called for?

Do you serve the broccoli rough?
I used to steam the broccoli first, but it doesn't sound weird, I'm gonna try it, sounds really delicious!
