Broccoli Salad

One of my favorite salads is broccoli salad.  I don't like broccoli unless it's raw.  I know that's weird, but for some reason, that's how my taste buds like it.  This broccoli salad is full of tons of flavor!  I take it to a lot of get togethers during the summer, and it is always a crowd pleaser!

The website where I originally found the recipe is down, so I cannot post a link to it, but i have tweaked it, so it doesn't completely match the original anyways.

Ingredients:

8 slices of bacon
2-3 bunches of broccoli
1/2 cup of shredded carrots
1 cup of chopped, diced, or red onion rings
1/2 cup of sunflower seeds
1/2 cup of craisins

Dressing:

1 cup of mayonnaise
1/4 cup of sugar
2 tablespoons of white vinegar

1.  Cook the bacon in a pan on the stove top until it is crispy.  Once the bacon is crispy and cooled down, chop it into bits.  Chop the broccoli florets and place them into a bowl.  Add the bacon pieces, shredded carrots, red onion, sunflower seeds, and craisins to the bowl with the broccoli.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, sugar, and vinegar together until it's creamy and combined.

3.  Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture.  Mix the dressing and the broccoli mixture together until all the pieces are evenly coated.

Finally, enjoy the delicious salad!
