Broccoli Salad
Broccoli Salad combines crisp broccoli florets with crunchy crumbled bacon, sweet craisins, and nutty sunflower seeds, all embraced by a creamy dressing made from mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, and a touch of sweetener. The finely chopped red onion adds a mild sharpness that balances the salad's flavors. This mix creates a fresh, textured salad ideal for a side dish or potluck addition.
