- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 0.75 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions
Thoroughly wash and dry the broccoli florets. Cut them into bite-sized pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.
Dice the red onion finely and add it to the bowl with the broccoli.
Add dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, and shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl with the broccoli and onion.
Cook the bacon until crispy, then drain on a paper towel. Crumble the bacon once it has cooled and add it to the salad.
In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss everything together until well coated.
For best flavor, cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
