Ingredients

• 700 g broccoli florets, cut into small bite-size pieces
• 6 slices Bacon
• ½ Red onion, finely diced
• 60 g raisins or dried cranberries
• 40 g Sunflower seeds (shelled)
• 80 g sharp cheddar, cut into small cubes (optional)
• 200 ml Mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp Sugar
• 2 tbsp Cider vinegar
• ¼ tsp Salt
• ¼ tsp Black pepper

Method

1. Fry the bacon in a frying pan over medium heat for 8–10 min, turning, until crisp. Drain on kitchen paper and chop.
2. Whisk the mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper until smooth.
3. Put the broccoli, red onion, raisins, sunflower seeds, cheddar and most of the bacon in a large bowl. Pour over the dressing and toss well.
4. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour so the broccoli softens slightly and the flavours mingle. Scatter with the rest of the bacon just before serving.

Tips

• Leave out the bacon (or use smoked almonds) for a vegetarian bowl.
• Keeps well in the fridge for 2 days, which makes it great for barbecues.
