Broccoli Salad

Ingredients:
1 lb Bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 lb Fresh broccoli
1/2 c. Dried cranberries*
1 Red onion, chopped
1 c. Mayo
2 tsp. White vinegar
3/4 c. sunflower seeds, totally optional**
1/2 c. sugar

Directions:
1. Combine white vinegar, sugar, and mayo.  Mix well.  Set aside for about 15 minutes.
2. Combine all other ingredients.
3. Add dressing to the veggies. Stir well.  

* - I used a dried mixed berry combination containing dried cranberries, dried blueberries, and dried cherries.

** - I could not find gluten-free sunflower seeds so I omitted them.

People ask me, "How do you cook / bake gluten-free?"  
My answer always is, "I use regular recipes and use gluten-free ingredients."  This salad is a perfect example of that...every thing listed above was labeled gluten-free (except the doggone sunflower seeds; their package said "processed on machinery that processes gluten, etc.  I don't take any chances as I have no desire to have a headache - no matter how slight, bloated, cranky, sluggish, etc.).
