Homemade Broccoli Salad

I know things have been quiet around here lately, but we have been super busy. I am trying to make blogging a priority again. I wanted to share one of my favorite things in the entire world, broccoli salad. I made this for a cookout we had last week, and it was a huge success. Perfect for spring and pretty healthy, if that matters to you.

Two heads of steamed and chilled chopped broccoli

Handful of pine nuts
Handful of craisins or other dried berried
Optional (we didn't do this but it is common) 2 slices of chopped crisp bacon

Dressing:
1/2 cup of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
1TBSP sugar (we used TBSP of agave since we're avoiding sugar right now)
1/3 cup vinegar (apple cider is my favorite, but any vinegar will do)
Salt and Pepper
