How to Make Sweet Broccoli Salad
- In a large bowl, combine 10 oz broccoli florets, 1/2 cup sunflower seeds, 1/2 cup dried cranberries, and 1/2 cup crumbled bacon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and gently toss to combine.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- For optimal bacon crispness, add the bacon just before serving if the salad will sit for an extended time.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
