Bacon Broccoli Salad

I made this for a potluck this week and it was a hit. Everyone likes a good broccoli salad especially with bacon because as we all know bacon makes everything better! The best part: it's super simple and quick to make!

8 slices of bacon
2 heads fresh broccoli, chopped
1/2 large red onion, chopped
3/4 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup sunflower or pumpkin seeds
1 cup paleo mayo
3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, and crumble. In a large bowl, combine broccoli, onion, bacon, cranberries and sunflower/pumpkin seeds. 

Prepare the dressing in a small bowl by whisking together the vinegar, pepper, sea salt, mayo and lemon juice. Combine dressing with salad. Cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
