Ingredients

Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds or chopped walnuts

Dressing Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey or sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the broccoli florets, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, diced red onion, dried cranberries, and sunflower seeds to create the base of the salad.
  2. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey (or sugar), salt, and pepper until the dressing is smooth and well blended.
  3. Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the mixed broccoli salad ingredients and toss thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated with the dressing.
  4. Chill for Flavors to Meld: Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to blend beautifully and the salad to chill.
  5. Toss Before Serving: Give the salad a final good toss before serving to redistribute the dressing and ingredients evenly for the best taste and presentation.

Notes

  • For crunchier texture, add the sunflower seeds or walnuts just before serving.
  • Substitute honey with sugar or maple syrup for different sweetness variations.
  • The salad can be prepared the day before to enhance the flavors even more.
  • Use low-fat or light mayonnaise for a lighter version of the dressing.
  • Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
