Begin by preparing the broccoli: wash and cut the broccoli into small bite-sized florets.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, finely chopped red onion, crumbled bacon, sunflower seeds, and shredded cheddar cheese.
In a separate smaller bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and toss everything together until the salad is evenly coated in the dressing.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Serve the salad chilled, and enjoy your sugar-free broccoli salad as a side dish or as a light meal!
