Ingredients
- 5 lices Bacon
- 8 cups broccoli florets chopped
- ⅔ cup dried cranberries
- ⅓ cup red onion diced
- ⅔ cup pecans chopped
Dressing
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon lemon juice
- fresh ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Chop the bacon and add to a medium size skillet. Cook over medium heat until crisp. Spoon out the bacon and place on a paper towel to soak up remaining grease. Set aside.
- Chop the broccoli and add to a large bowl.
- Add the dried cranberries, diced red onion and chopped pecans to the bowl with the broccoli.
- In a small mixing bowl combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, and vinegar, stir to combine.
- Add in the sugar, salt, lemon juice and fresh ground black pepper to the dressing and stir to combine.
- Pour the dressing over the broccoli salad and stir to coat.
- Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- Broccoli: Fresh broccoli is used in this salad. Frozen and thawed broccoli will lose the texture that is desired for making a salad. It is not required to blanch the broccoli before assembling the salad, but you can do that step first if you prefer. If you are blanching only cook the broccoli for 1-2 minutes before plunging into cold water.
- Pecans: For a bit of crunch add a seed or nut. Sunflower seeds are common, but for a Texas-twist try some chopped pecans. Omit if nuts/seeds are a problem.
- Mayonnaise & Sour Cream: The base for the creamy dressing is a combination of mayo & sour cream. Substitute for plain greek yogurt if needed. Or you can use a dairy free option if required.
- Vinegar: Use either apple cider vinegar or a white wine vinegar.
