- 6 ounces Bacon chopped
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds

- In a large bowl, combine the broccoli florets, sliced cucumber, halved grapes, chopped red onion, cooked bacon, and toasted sunflower seeds.
- To make the dressing, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, sugar, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
