Begin by chopping the broccoli into small pieces, ensuring they are tiny enough to eat without a knife and fork.

Add the chopped broccoli to a mixing bowl.

Chop about half of a large red onion and add it to the bowl with the broccoli.

Add about 8 pieces of crispy bacon to the bowl.

Add about 1/2 cup of sliced almonds to the bowl.

Add sliced roma tomatoes to the bowl.

Grate sharp cheddar cheese and add it to the bowl.

In a separate bowl, mix together 1 cup of mayonnaise, 1/4 cup of sugar, 2 tablespoons of white vinegar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and some black cracked pepper to create the dressing.

Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the bowl and stir to combine.
