Wow! This recipe of salad just blew my mind! I love everything about this salad. From the broccoli to the sunflower seeds, from red grapes to bacon! It is just too complete. Everything you wish for a salad is present in this recipe. I have listed all the steps. Just follow them and you are in for a treat. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS

8 slices bacon
⅓ cup sunflower seed kernels
1 large head broccoli, cut into bite-size pieces
⅓ cup diced red onion
1 cup seedless red grapes, halved
1 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 pinch ground black pepper to taste

HOW TO MAKE BROCCOLI SALAD WITH RED GRAPES, BACON, AND SUNFLOWER SEEDS

Step 1: Place a skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high.

Step 2: Place bacon and cook for 10 minutes or until the color turns brown and slightly toasted.

Step 3: Remove the bacon and place them on a plate with pepper towels. Remove the excess oil.

Step 4: Take 7 pieces of the bacon and crush. Add in a resealable bag with the sunflower seeds.

Step 5: In a medium mixing bowl, add in the grapes, broccoli, and onion. Stir until well mixed.

Step 6: Crush the rest of the bacon then place in a medium mixing bowl.

Step 7: Add in the sugar, vinegar, mayonnaise, and black pepper into the bowl with the crushed bacon.

Step 8: Pour dressing on top of the broccoli mixture. Toss until all the mixture is coated entirely.

Step 9: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place inside the fridge for 2 hours to incorporate all the flavors.

Step 10: Sprinkle the bacon-sunflower seed mixture on top of the salad. Make sure to spread it nicely.

Step 11: Serve and enjoy!

NOTES:

1. If you do not have sunflower seeds, you can use almonds instead. I only use red grapes with raisins and apple cider for the best result.

2. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon right away before serving to preserve its crunchiness.
