2 bunches of broccoli florets and stems,chopped

1 cup golden raisins (dried cranberries or dried cherries are also good)

1/2 to 1 lb. bacon, fried crisp and crumbled

1/2 cup sunflower seeds, roasted and salted  (I use unsalted)

 

When ready to serve, mix all above ingredients with a dressing of:

1 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1/3 cup sugar

 

Aunt Sharie uses balsamic vinegar and she thinks it kicks it up a notch.
