Ingredients
- 12 ounces broccoli florets (or 2 to 3 whole heads)
- ¾ cup mayonnaise or substitute plain Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 ½ tablespoons vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup red onion finely diced (about 1/2 a medium onion)
- ¾ cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup cooked, crumbled bacon (about 8 ounces of bacon, or use "Real Bacon" pieces)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ⅓ cup roasted, salted sunflower kernels
Instructions
- (Optional but recommended step) Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 1 minute. Immediately drain the broccoli in a colander with ice and run under cold water to stop the cooking. Allow the broccoli to drain very well. Spread on paper towels or set it in a colander. You want the broccoli as dry as possible.
- In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, vinegar, and sugar. Whisk together until the sugar has dissolved.
- Add the onion, cranberries, sunflower kernels, broccoli, and bacon. Toss gently, taking care not to break up the broccoli, until well mixed and coated with the dressing.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour for flavors to combine.
Notes
- Save time by purchasing ready to cook broccoli florets rather than whole heads of broccoli.
- For best results, be sure to make the salad ahead of time so that the flavors have a chance to mellow. Refrigerate it for at least one hour and up to eight hours.
- Store the leftovers in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator.
