Ingredients
  

  • 8 cups fresh broccoli florets, cut small
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked crumbled bacon, divided
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup roasted salted sunflower seeds
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Whisk mayo, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
  2. Combine broccoli, cheddar, most of the bacon (reserve about 2 tbsp), red onion, cranberries, and sunflower seeds in a large bowl.
  3. Pour dressing over and toss until coated. Cover and chill at least 30 minutes.
  4. Toss again, top with reserved bacon and extra sunflower seeds, and serve.

Notes

This salad tastes even better the next day, so it is a good one to make ahead. For the crispest texture, add the sunflower seeds right before you serve it.
