Instructions
Prepare the Broccoli
Wash and cut broccoli into small bite-sized florets. Pat dry.
Mix the Salad
In a large bowl, combine broccoli, bacon, cheddar, red onion, sunflower seeds, and cranberries.
Make the Dressing
Whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Combine
Pour dressing over broccoli mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Chill & Serve
Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving (this allows flavors to blend and broccoli to soften slightly).
Tips & Variations:
Add chopped apples or grapes for extra sweetness.
Swap sunflower seeds with walnuts or pecans for crunch.
Use Greek yogurt in place of some mayo for a lighter version.
