Broccoli and Bacon Salad image

This is a great salad for picnics or potlucks! This version of broccoli salad uses more vinegar and less mayonnaise than most recipes. This gives you a slightly different, healthier option when choosing your next side dish. It's best if you wait until right before serving to add the dressing to keep bacon crisp.

This is a 'bacon-a-licious' dish, the smokiness and saltiness of the bacon really elevates the humble broccoli and takes it to fantastic heights. I also love the addition of the sunflower seeds, they add a nice crunch and some extra protein.
