• In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper.
• Once pasta has been cooked and drained well, put it in a large bowl.
• Pour in mayonnaise mixture, chopped broccoli and diced onion (don’t add the bacon in yet, you want to add that in right before serving so it stays crunchy).
• Stir well.
• Cover bowl and put in the fridge to chill for at least 3 hours.
• Before serving, add crumbled bacon to salad and then give it all a good stir and then serve.
