Broccoli Salad

 I have made some version of this salad for every holiday since I was a teenager. This is how it's ended. 

6 cups of broccoli, chopped small

1lb of bacon cooked crisp

1 red onion

1 box of raisins, golden or purple

3 ounces of sunflower seeds, roasted, hulled and salted

2 cups of mayo

1 cup of granulated sugar

4 tablespoons of white vinegar

Cut your broccoli, onion and bacon and put in bowl. Add the raisins and sunflower seeds. In a small bowl, mix the mayo, sugar and vinegar until the sugar has dissolved. Add to your broccoli bowl and mix until well coated. Chill. This is best made the day before, but keeps getting better.
