½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
2-4 tablespoons granulated sugar depending on desired sweetness (I use 3 tablespoons)
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground pepper

In a large bowl, stir together vegetables, cheese, bacon, 3/4 cup sunflower seeds, and cranberries.
5 cups broccoli florets, 1 ½ cups sliced carrots, 1 cup chopped celery, ½ cup sharp cheddar cheese, 3 strips bacon, 1 cup sunflower seeds, ½ cup dried sweetened cranberries
Whisk mayonnaise, yogurt, sugar, vinegar, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.
½ cup mayonnaise, ½ cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt, 2-4 tablespoons granulated sugar, ¼ cup apple cider vinegar, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
Add dressing to salad, and toss to combine.
Cover, and refrigerate until chilled.
Serve cold, and top with remaining 1/4 cup sunflower seeds just before serving.

Vegetables: I use broccoli, celery, and carrots. However, feel free to add a little thinly sliced red onion if you prefer.
Cheese: Feel free to substitute other types of cheese in place of the sharp cheese. I often buy cheese cubes if I'm short on time.
Dried fruit: I like the tang of the dried cranberries, but golden or dark raisins will work in place of the cranberries.
Mayonnaise: For mayonnaise, I use olive oil mayo, but feel free to use whatever type you like.
Greek yogurt: I use non-fat plain Greek yogurt, but 2% or whole milk yogurt will also work.
