Broccoli Salad

Another great summer salad! Dad loved this broccoli salad.

2 bunches fresh broccoli, cut in small flowerets
1 medium purple onion, finely chopped
1 c. grated cheddar cheese
6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 c. sunflower seeds or raisins (I like BOTH)
1 c. mayonnaise
2 T. red or white wine vinegar
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt

In a large bowl combine broccoli, onion, and cheese. Refrigerate. Just before serving, stir in bacon. Add sunflower seeds or raisins if you wish. Mix mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and salt together in a bowl. Chill at least one hour before tossing with salad. Pour desired amount of dressing over salad and toss well. Serve the same day.
