Broccoli Salad
Broccoli Salad features crisp broccoli florets mixed with sliced carrots, celery, sharp cheddar cheese cubes, crunchy bacon, dried cranberries, and sunflower seeds. The creamy dressing made from mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, cider vinegar, and sugar gives the salad a sweet and tangy balance. Chilling the salad allows the flavors to meld, delivering a combination of crunchy, savory, and slightly sweet bites.
