In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, red grapes, red onion, sunflower seeds, and bacon. Toss gently to mix.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and honey until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
Chef's Tips:• For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.• Avoid over-dressing the salad to prevent it from becoming soggy.• Serve as a side dish with grilled meats or as a standalone lunch option.Food Safety:• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.• Ensure bacon is fully cooked to avoid foodborne illness.
