Broccoli Salad II

1 head broccoli
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons white vinegar or red wine vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

*Optional additions: 6 to 8 slices cooked bacon, crumbled; 1/2 c sunflower seeds; 1/2 cup raisins; 8 ounces sharp Cheddar, cut into very small chunks; 1/4 c almonds; 1/2 c seedless grapes, halved; 3/4 c celery, chopped
Cut the broccoli into flowerets and the stem into bite-size pieces. Place in a large bowl. Add onion, tomato, and any other additions. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients, stirring well. Add to broccoli mixture and toss gently. Best if prepared and chilled a few hours before serving.
