  • ¾ cup dried cranberries or raisins

For the Dressing:

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, add the chopped broccoli, red onion, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, and cooked chopped bacon.
  2. Whisk together the ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl until creamy and well combined.
  3. Pour the dressing over the broccoli salad and toss until everything is well-coated in dressing. At first it may seem like there is too much dressing, but the broccoli will absorb the dressing as it sits.
  4. For the best results, refrigerate the broccoli salad for at least one hour before serving it with your main dish and other side dishes.

Notes

  • *Adjust the amount of bacon to your personal taste. You can also omit the bacon for a vegetarian version of the recipe.
  • **Replace the Greek yogurt with more mayonnaise if you prefer. 
  • ***Use cane sugar instead of pure maple syrup as a substitution.
