Instructions

1. Place the broccoli florets, red onion, dried cranberries, cheddar cheese, bacon and sunflower seeds into a large mixing bowl.

2. Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt and black pepper until smooth.

3. Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated.

Fresh broccoli gives the best crunchy texture.

For extra flavor, toast the sunflower seeds before adding them.

The salad tastes even better after chilling overnight.
