Ingredients

8 cups bite-size broccoli florets (about 3 heads of broccoli, rinsed and dried well)
1 (3.5-ounce) package real chopped bacon (about 1 cup or 14 to 16 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled)
1/2 cup dry roasted sunflower kernels
1 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup red onion (about 1/4 medium red onion finely diced)
1 cup thick cut shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar

Instructions

In a very large bowl, combine the broccoli, bacon, sunflower kernels, cranberries, onion, and cheese. Set aside.
In a small bowl, make the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, vinegar, and sugar.
Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for about 1 hour. Toss again before serving.
