Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets. Chop the florets into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, raisins, finely chopped red onion, shredded cheddar cheese, and sunflower seeds. Toss gently to mix.
In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well-combined.
Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the salad a quick toss to redistribute the dressing and serve chilled.
