Ingredients

5 cups fresh broccoli florets (about 1 medium head broccoli)
1/2 cup diced red onion (about 1/2 small onion)
3/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup sliced cherry tomatoes (optional)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
Pinch salt (to taste)
5-6 slices bacon (cooked, drained, and crumbled)
1/2 cup roasted salted sunflower seeds

Steps:

Add broccoli, onion, raisins, and cherry tomatoes, if using, to a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, and sugar. Stir in a pinch of salt, if desired.
Pour dressing over broccoli and toss well.
Serve with bacon and sunflower seeds in separate bowls on the side so individuals can add toppings as desired.
Keeps refrigerated in an airtight container for several hours.

Tips:

To save time, use pre-cut broccoli florets and bacon bits.
For a sweeter salad, use golden raisins instead of regular raisins.
If you don't have sunflower seeds, you can substitute another type of nut or seed, such as almonds, walnuts, or pumpkin seeds.
To make the salad ahead of time, prepare the broccoli, bacon, and dressing up to 24 hours in advance. Store them separately in the refrigerator and assemble the salad just before serving.
This salad is also a great way to use up leftover broccoli and bacon.
