👨‍🍳 Instructions

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes.

Crumble 7 slices of bacon; mix with sunflower seeds in a resealable bag.

Combine broccoli, onion, and grapes in a bowl.

Crumble the remaining bacon slice.

Whisk mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and black pepper together in a bowl; fold in the 1 slice crumbled bacon.

Pour dressing over broccoli mixture; toss to coat evenly.

Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for flavors to blend, about 2 hours.
