This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I like to make it the night before and let it chill in the refrigerator overnight.

I'm not a fan of raisins, so I omitted them from the recipe. It was still delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt instead. It turned out great!

This salad is a great way to use up leftover bacon. I also like to add a handful of chopped walnuts for extra crunch.

This bacon broccoli salad is a hit! The combination of sweet raisins, crunchy sunflower seeds, and salty bacon is perfect. I also love the addition of red onion, which adds a nice pop of color and flavor.
