Broccoli Salad with Bacon
  1. 1

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

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

    Mix the mayonnaise, sugar, and vinegar in a separate bowl. Pour over the broccoli mixture and stir to combine. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes before serving.
