Ingredients

1 cup mayonnaise
0.25 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
6 strips bacon
3 heads broccoli, cut into bite-sized pieces
0.5 cup chopped red onion
0.33 cup salted sunflower kernels, toasted
0.25 cup dried cranberries

Instructions

Make the creamy dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sugar, and vinegar until smooth. Cover and chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Prepare the salad ingredients: Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy and evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease, then crumble and set aside.
Assemble the salad: In a large serving bowl, combine broccoli florets, red onion, sunflower seeds, and dried cranberries. Add the crumbled bacon and drizzle with the creamy dressing. Toss gently until all ingredients are well combined.
