Instructions

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Crumble 7 slices of bacon; mix with sunflower seeds in a resealable plastic bag and set aside.
Combine broccoli, grapes, and onion in a large bowl.
Whisk mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and pepper together in a separate bowl; crumble remaining slice of bacon and fold into dressing.
Pour dressing over broccoli mixture; toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for flavors to blend, about 2 hours. Sprinkle bacon-sunflower seed mixture over salad before serving; mix well.
