01
Step 1
Start by cooking the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Keep turning it every now and then until it’s nicely browned, which usually takes about 10 minutes. Once it's done, transfer the bacon to some paper towels to drain and let it cool down enough to crumble.

Step 2
While the bacon is cooling, grab a big bowl and toss together the broccoli, raisins, green onions, and sunflower seeds.

Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sugar, and apple cider vinegar until smooth. Pour this dressing over the broccoli mixture and give everything a good toss so it’s all well coated.
