Bacon Ranch Broccoli Salad
Description
This salad features fresh broccoli cut into small florets coated in a smooth dressing combining mayonnaise, sour cream, ranch seasoning powder, and a touch of lemon juice for brightness. The sharp cheddar cheese cubes add a creamy, tangy texture, while diced red onion contributes crunch and a mild pungency. Crumbled crispy bacon provides smoky, salty flavor and a contrasting texture.
Once tossed, chilling the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving allows the dressing to permeate the broccoli and soften the raw onions slightly. This salad pairs well with barbecued meats or as a side dish at casual gatherings. It offers a familiar ranch flavor profile combined with hearty broccoli for a satisfying cold salad.
