My sister in law made this a few years ago for a family gathering.  I'm usually not a big fan of broccoli but this was so good that I asked for the recipe.

Ingredients:
2 heads fresh broccoli, broken into small florets
1 cup chopped red onion
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1 lb bacon, fried and crumbled into small pieces
2 cups shredded cheese

Directions:
Mix all ingredients and set aside. 

Salad Dressing:
1 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Mix dressing ingredients in small bowl and pour over broccoli mixture.  Combine well.  Chill until ready to serve.
