Easy Broccoli Salad

Step 1: Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, salt, and black pepper until the sugar has dissolved and the dressing is smooth.
Step 2: Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the broccoli florets, chopped red onion, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped cooked bacon.
Step 3: Dress the Salad: Pour the creamy dressing over the broccoli mixture. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Step 4: Chill & Serve: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Chilling the salad allows the flavors to meld and the broccoli to soften slightly. This recipe serves 4-6 people.
