In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, crumbled bacon, diced red onion, raisins, and sunflower seeds.

In a separate medium-sized bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, white vinegar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and toss everything together until well-coated.

Refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
