I can never get enough of this broccoli salad. Salty bacon, crunchy sunflower kernels, and a hint of sweetness and vinegar.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 pound bacon

  • 1 bunch broccoli, finely chopped

  • ½ cup sunflower seeds

  • ½ cup diced red onion

  • ¾ cup mayonnaise

  • ¼ cup white sugar

  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar

Directions

  1. Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and let cool enough to handle, 5 to 10 minutes. Crumble.

  2. Combine crumbled bacon with broccoli, sunflower seeds, and red onion in a large bowl.

  3. Mix mayonnaise, sugar, and vinegar together in a separate bowl. Pour over broccoli mixture and mix together. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes before serving.

Cook’s Note

Chop broccoli fairly fine. I like to include a bit of the stalk for extra crunch.
