How to make broccoli salad:

Cut broccoli flowerets into smaller than bite size pieces. Cut off the tough outer layer of the stalks and chop the tender part into small pieces. You will need about 8 cups broccoli. (This can be done the day before and stored in plastic bag.) In a small skillet, saute the bacon until crisp and set aside. Slice onion lengthwise, then cut into julienne strips. In a large bowl, combine the broccoli, onion strips, raisins and bacon. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar and pepper. Combine dressing with the veggies and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Mix once during this time. Top with sunflower seeds. Serves 10 to 12.
