BROCCOLI SUNSHINE SALAD

Fresh broccoli florets, bacon, sunflower seeds, raisins, red onion, and shredded cheddar in a sweet & tangy dressing

Provided by [email protected]

Time 3h30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 1/2 cups broccoli washed (drained & cut into bite-sized pieces (1 1/2 inch))
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I use sharp cheddar, but use what you like)
1/3 cup raisins
1/4 cup chopped red onion rinse in a strainer with hot water for 10 seconds if the onion is too strong
8 slices bacon cooked and crumbled or chopped
1/3 cup shelled sunflower seeds you can use roasted with no salt or roasted & salted
* Dressing (see notes)
1/2 cup mayo (Hellmann's light is my go-to)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine mayo, sugar, and lemon juice. Mix dressing well and allow to chill for an hour or so. This allows the lemon juice to dissolve the sugar before combining with the rest of the salad ingredients.
  • While the dressing chills, combine broccoli, cheese, raisins, onion, bacon, and sunflower seeds in a large bowl. Store in the frig while the dressing finishes chilling.
  • Pour dressing over salad and toss well to coat. You can serve immediately, but I recommend refrigerating for several hours or overnight to meld flavors and soften the broccoli.

BROCCOLI SALAD



Broccoli Salad image

It is easy to understand why broccoli salad is a mainstay of potluck dinners and community gatherings. Not only is it a crowd-pleaser, but also raw broccoli is a clever make-ahead ingredient because it maintains its hardy texture and crunch over time. (This Southern-inspired recipe can be made up to 24 hours ahead, then stored in the fridge.) While most traditional Southern broccoli salads feature a creamy mayonnaise dressing and are finished with bacon bits and grated cheese, this vegan riff offers a punchy vinegar mixture that serves as a quick pickling liquid for the onions and raisins before it's used as the final dressing. If you are making this salad in advance, leave the toasted almonds out until you are ready to eat.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup golden or black raisins (or dried cranberries)
1/2 red onion, finely sliced
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
4 teaspoons granulated sugar
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 1/2 pounds broccoli (about 2 heads)
1 apple (any variety), cored and cut into ½-inch cubes
2 scallions, white and green parts, finely sliced
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds, pepitas or sunflower seeds (see Tip)
1 cup red or green grapes (optional), halved crosswise

Steps:

  • Make the dressing: Place raisins and red onion in a small bowl. Add vinegar, sugar, ¾ teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoons of water, and toss to combine. Leave to pickle for 10 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
  • Peel the woody exterior from the broccoli stalks and discard. Chop the stalks into ½-inch pieces. Chop the broccoli florets into ½-inch pieces. (The pieces do not have to be uniform or the same shape.) Place all the broccoli into a large mixing bowl.
  • After 10 minutes, finish the dressing by adding the olive oil and sesame oil to the bowl with the pickling raisins and red onion, and stir well to combine. Taste and season with more salt if needed. It should be tangy, slightly sweet and a little salty.
  • Add the raisin-and-onion dressing to the broccoli along with the apple and scallions. Using two large spoons, toss well so that everything is well coated. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper to taste. Taste to make sure you are happy with the seasonings, adding more if needed.
  • When you are ready to eat, add the almonds and grapes (if using), and gently toss. Serve at room temperature.

Tips:

  • For a more flavorful salad, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese instead of pre-packaged shredded cheese.
  • If you don't have any red onion on hand, you can use a white or yellow onion instead. Just be sure to chop it very finely so that it doesn't overpower the other flavors in the salad.
  • If you're watching your calorie intake, you can use low-fat mayonnaise or Greek yogurt instead of regular mayonnaise.
  • This salad is also a great way to use up leftover cooked broccoli. Just be sure to chop it into small pieces before adding it to the salad.
  • For a more colorful salad, add some chopped carrots, celery, or red bell pepper.

Conclusion:

Audrey's Sunshine Raisin Broccoli Salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tangy dressing, crunchy vegetables, and chewy raisins, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a healthy and easy side dish, give this recipe a try.
