Finely dice the half red onion and put it with the other ingredients.

Step 5

In a large bowl, combine the blanched broccoli florets, bacon pieces, shredded cheddar cheese, diced red onion, and sunflower seeds.

Step 6

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, erythritol sweetener, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and toss gently until everything is well coated.

Step 8

Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Before serving, give the salad a final stir and adjust seasoning if necessary. Enjoy your Keto Broccoli Salad as a side dish or a light meal.
