Take a large bowl and add the broccoli slaw mix. Check for any large pieces and break them down. This helps the slaw mix better with the dressing. Fresh and crisp slaw gives the best taste and texture.

In a small bowl, add mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and sugar. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Add salt and pepper. Taste the dressing and adjust sweetness if needed. It should be slightly sweet and tangy.

Pour the dressing over the broccoli slaw mix. Use a spoon or spatula to mix gently. Make sure every piece is coated well. Do not rush this step. Even mixing gives better flavor.

Now add raisins, sunflower seeds, and chopped red onion. Mix again slowly. These ingredients add sweetness and crunch. They make the slaw more exciting and balanced.

Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge. Let it chill for at least 30 minutes. This step is very important. It allows the flavors to blend together beautifully.

Take the slaw out of the fridge. Give it a quick mix before serving. Serve it cold as a side dish. It pairs well with many meals and adds freshness to your table.
