1Cook bacon in a large skillet and over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels and crumble once cooled.
2Mix bacon, broccoli, red onion, raisins, and cashews together in a large bowl.
3Whisk mayonnaise, brown sugar, and red wine vinegar together in a separate bowl; drizzle over the broccoli mixture in small amounts, tossing the salad between additions to coat somewhat evenly.

Cook's Note:
If possible, let salad refrigerate overnight, as it will improve the flavor greatly. If you leave it overnight, toss again before serving, as dressing will settle to bottom of bowl.
