Wash and dry the broccoli florets. Chop them into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, finely diced red onion, crumbled bacon, and sliced almonds or sunflower seeds to the bowl with the broccoli.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, erythritol (or powdered sweetener), salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and toss well to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. (Optional but recommended.)
Serve chilled as a side dish or light main course. Enjoy!
