Broccoli Salad

By peridot728

Ingredients

• 15 4 15 MINUTES PREP, 4 HOURS CHILL TIME
• 1 lb broccoli florets, cut bite size
• 1/3 cup red onion, cut in strips
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1/3 cup sunflower seeds (no shells)
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 2 Tbsp cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Preparation

Step 1

In a pot of boiling water, drop broccoli and cook for about 1 minute. Remove immediately and rinse with cold water. Place in a large bowl.

Add onion, cheese, bacon, raisins, and sunflower seeds to broccoli.

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayo, vinegar and sugar. Pour over salad right before serving.

I prefer to pour it over the salad and allow the salad to "soften" for about 4 hours. You decide.
