BROCCOLI BACON SALAD Serves 8-10 SALAD: 2 heads fresh broccoli, washed and cut into bite-size flowerets ½ cup chopped red onion ½ cup dried cranberries ½ cup slivered almonds ½ cup roasted sunflower seeds ½ – 1 cup crumbled bacon (approx. 6 to 8 slices for 1/2 cup and 12-16 slices for 1 cup) * I like mine with lots of bacon! DRESSING: 1 cup mayonnaise 3 tablespoons white vinegar ⅓ cup sugar ½ teaspoon ground black pepper **If your local grocery store sells ingredients in a bulk bin, what I like to do is buy just what I need for 1 recipe. It’s often cheaper and you have no waste afterwords. Bulk bins are great for dried cranberries, nuts, sunflower seeds, etc. Most butcher cases also sell thick-quality bacon in bulk. Just tell them what you need! Add broccoli, red onions, cranberries, almonds and sunflower seeds to a large bowl. Next, make the dressing by mixing mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and pepper in a small bowl. Pour dressing over the broccoli salad and mix thoroughly. Transfer salad to a large plate or serving bowl. Finish the salad off by garnishing with the crumbled bacon. If you prefer a bacon free version, omit bacon and garnish with ¼ of cranberries and ¼ of slivered almonds. Enjoy!
