Broccoli Salad

I love fresh broccoli salad. The smokey taste of the bacon along with the crunchy broccoli goes together so well. This is a popular recipe and some add 1/2 cup of raisins to the mix for a little bit of sweetness or dried cranberries. Another variation is to add 1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese. For lower fat use turkey bacon and Free Miracle Whip.

1 package fresh broccoli, cut into small bit size pieces
1/2 cup red onion, chopped
1 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup roasted and salted sunflower seeds

Dressing:
1/2 cup Miracle Whip
1 Tbs white vinegar
3 Tbs sugar

Mix first 4 ingredients and chill in the refrigerator. Toss with the dressing just before serving.
