Ingredients
- 2 large heads of broccoli cut into florets
- 6 oz. Bacon cut into bite-sized pieces*
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ⅓ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
- 2 Tbsp. sugar
- ½ tsp. salt
- ⅓ cup red onion finely sliced
- ⅔ cup cranberries
- 1 cup walnuts toasted
Instructions
- Steam broccoli for 4-5 minutes in a steamer basket, or until it turns bright green. Place in a large bowl to cool and dab with a paper towel until completely dry.
- Cook bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes or until cooked through. Drain bacon on a paper towel-lined plate.
- In a large bowl whisk together mayonnaise, yogurt, vinegar, sugar, and salt.
- Add cooked broccoli that has cooled to room temperature and toss until well coated.
- Stir in chopped onion, cranberries, walnuts, and cooked bacon pieces.
- Cover and chill broccoli salad in refrigerator for 1-2 hours, or up to overnight, before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- Since this broccoli salad contains both mayonnaise and Greek yogurt, it is VERY temperature sensitive. Do not let it sit out for more than 2 hours at room temperature or more than 1 hour when the temperature is above 80 degrees.
- To Prep-Ahead: You can prepare it entirely and chill it overnight.
- To Store: This dish will keep for up to 3 days when stored in the refrigerator between servings. However, after 24 hours the broccoli will begin to lose its crispness.
- To Freeze: It is not recommended to freeze as the mayonnaise will separate.
