1cupdried cranberries *halved grapes works great too
1/2cupsweet onions, chopped*or more if desired
1/4cupsunflower seeds (not with the shells - just the seeds)
5slices bacon, cooked and crumbled *or more if desired
The Dressing
2cups Mayonnaise*do not use Miracle Whip or light mayo
1/2cupwhite sugar
1/4cupwhite vinegar
Instructions
Chop your broccoli, and onions. Cook and crumble your bacon. Mix the broccoli, onions, bacon, sunflower seeds and dried cranberries together in a large bowl.
Mix the dressing ingredients together. **You can half the dressing recipe and while it is enough to cover the salad, it won't be super flavored and super covered with dressing. I make my salad as the recipe states so I have enough dressing (especially if you are planning on having leftovers you will want the extra dressing).
Pour the dressing over the broccoli and other ingredients and mix well. Serve and enjoy!
