How to Make Aunt Bobbie S Broccoli Salad
- Whisk together 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
- While the dressing chills, cook 4 slices of bacon until crispy. Crumble and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 large head of broccoli (cut into bite-sized florets), 1/2 cup dried cranberries, 1/4 cup sunflower seeds, and 1/4 cup chopped red onion.
- Pour the chilled dressing over the broccoli mixture and gently toss to coat evenly.
- Stir in the crumbled bacon.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to fully develop and the salad to chill. This allows the broccoli to absorb the dressing and enhances the overall taste.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
