Broccoli Salad

Cool crunchy and oh, so good!

Ingredients:

• 1 bunch raw chopped broccoli
• 1 lb bacon cooked and crumbled
• 1 med. red onion chopped
• 1 cup unsalted sunflower seeds
• 1/2 cup golden raisins
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup of grated cheeses (cheddar, longhorn)

• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2 Tbsp. cider vinegar

Directions:

Mix the salad ingredients together in a bowl to hold it all.

Mix the dressing ingredients together and pour over the salad stirring to coat well. I like to wait about 1/2 hour to let the flavors meld together.
You may also switch nuts with walnuts chopped coarsely or even sliced almonds.
