Broccoli Salad
In a large serving bowl, combine the broccoli, onion and dried cranberries. In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, light sour cream, white wine vinegar, and sugar. Pour over broccoli mixture, and toss until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours or up to six hours.
When ready to serve, stir in the crumbled bacon and slivered almonds.
Be sure to refrigerate the Broccoli Salad for at least 2 hours before serving to give it some time to soften a bit.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use within 2 days for the best quality.
