Broccoli Cranberry Salad
Description
Broccoli Cranberry Salad brings together crisp broccoli florets, sweet-tart dried cranberries, pungent red onions, and crunchy pecans coated in a creamy, slightly acidic dressing. The dressing is made by whisking mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, poppy seeds, salt, and black pepper to balance sweetness, tang, and mild spice. Tossing the salad ingredients thoroughly with the dressing ensures every bite is coated.
The salad is refrigerated for an hour before serving to allow the flavors to develop and the broccoli to absorb some dressing while retaining its crunch. This side salad offers contrasting textures and a fresh, bright taste that pairs well with grilled or roasted meats and can be served cold.
Leftovers should be kept in an airtight container and refrigerated for up to two days to maintain freshness and texture.
