Instructions

  1. Whisk together dressing ingredients in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine broccoli, onion, cranberries, sunflower seeds, and bacon bits. Pour the prepared dressing over and mix well.
  3. Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.

Notes

  • Broccoli Salad can be made ahead & kept in the fridge (at least an hour but up to 24 hours) until ready to serve. 
  • Leftovers will last about 4-5 days in the fridge.
  • Dry broccoli very well so moisture doesn't water down the dressing. Broccoli does not need to be cooked for this recipe.
  • Reserve some crisp bacon for garnish if desired and add just before serving.
  • Store-bought coleslaw dressing can replace the homemade dressing if desired.
