1 pound Bacon

1 cup Raisins
1/2 cup Sunflower seeds
-- Dressing --
1 cup Mayonnaise
1/2 cup Sugar
2 tblspoons Vinegar

Servings

INSTRUCTIONS

Cook bacon and crumble. Make dressing by mixing all ingredients together using a hand blender.

Make the salad using only enough for the meal. Toss the broccoli with the dressing (go easy on the dressing, a little goes a long ways). Top with Bacon, onion, raisins and sunflower seeds. I usually don't mix the toppings in as they tend to end up at the bottom.

NOTES

We normally double the amount dressing made, as it keeps quite a while in the refrigerator.

Can make the dressing and prep the broccoli and onion in advance, or the day before. However, the salad tends to get soggy if mixed and left over-night.
