Broccoli Bacon Salad Recipe
Description
This Broccoli Bacon Salad features a variety of fresh and crunchy ingredients, including broccoli florets, finely chopped kale, chopped red onion, shredded carrots, chopped apple, dried cherries, cooked bacon pieces, and sunflower seeds. The combination provides a mix of textures from crisp vegetables and nuts to chewy fruit and savory bacon. The creamy dressing, made from mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, crushed red pepper, and salt, adds a sweet and tangy note with a hint of heat.
The salad is tossed thoroughly to distribute the dressing evenly and is refrigerated until serving to marry the flavors. Its vibrant components make it a suitable side for casual dinners, barbecues, or potlucks that benefit from fresh and hearty salads.
