Best Broccoli Salad

Description: I made this salad for an end of school year pot luck. The following year I was asked if I would bring it again. People remember this salad from year to year. It can be made the day before and chilled - which is very helpful. It uses a full pound of bacon. The cook time is actually "chill time" in the refrigerator.

Ingredients:

• 1 bunch broccoli (tops only, broken into small pieces)
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1 cup sunflower seeds
• 1 small onion, chopped (or less)
• 1 lb bacon, fried crisp and crumbled
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Steps:

1. Combine all the salad ingredients, tossing well to mix.
2. Mix the dressing ingredients together then toss with the salad mix.
3. Let stand at least 1 hour in the refrigerator (can be made the day before).
