Broccoli Bacon Salad

In a medium sauce pan, bring 4 cups of salted water to a boil. While waiting for the water to boil, prepare a large bowl with ice water. Add broccoli florets to the boiling water and cook until tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and place in the prepared bowl of ice water. When cool, drain florets in a colander. In a large bowl, combine broccoli, carrots, red onion, cranberries, almonds and bacon. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Pour dressing over broccoli mixture and stir to combine.
