½ cup sunflower kernels

Instructions

Using an extra large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli, shredded cheese, craisins, red onion, crumbled bacon and sunflower kernels.
6 cups broccoli florets, 1½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, ⅔ cup chopped craisins, ⅔ cup diced red onion, ⅔ cup cooked and crumbled bacon, ½ cup sunflower kernels
Using a medium size mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, sugar, kosher salt and pepper until smooth.
1¼ cup mayonnaise, ½ cup sour cream, 4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and stir to completely coat the salad ingredients.
Cover tightly and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Notes

Storage:

Store any leftovers in an airtight container, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

I recommend storing your broccoli salad in a bowl with a lid instead of covering it with plastic wrap. This will keep the broccoli from getting soggy and help contain the smell.
