Ingredients
Salad
- 1/2 pound Bacon cooked until crispy, then chopped
- 6 cups broccoli florets (about 1 pound)
- 1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup salted sunflower seeds
- 1/2 cup red onion chopped
Dressing
- 3/4 cup mayo
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- To cook the bacon, preheat oven to 425°F. Arrange bacon slices in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes until crispy. Remove bacon from baking sheet to drain on paper towels, then chop.
- Combine broccoli florets, cheese, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, and onion in a large serving bowl. Toss to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the mayo, sour cream, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well. The salad can be served immediately, although it's best if it can be placed in the fridge for at least 1 hour. Add bacon and toss again right before serving.
Notes
- White wine vinegar can be used instead of the apple cider vinegar.
- This recipe is on page 124 of my cookbook, House of Nash Eats Everyday!
