BROCCOLI & CRANBERRY SALAD



Broccoli & Cranberry Salad image

I found some recipes that were close, but I couldn't find the *exact* recipe that I usually make (ever since I hounded it out of a co-worker after a potluck years ago, even before I had any desire or ability to cook much at all). This salad is always good with almost anything, except maybe pancakes... nah, even then I bet the bacon would make it would be good ;) The whole Craisins thing make this a natural for the holidays that involve some form of cranberries. That said, it's great in the summer, too.

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled, see note
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup craisins dried sweetened cranberries
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • (Bacon note: Original recipe calls for 1 C cooked and crumbled bacon, but for Nutrition Info to appear and include bacon, I had to go with 8 slices. Truthfully, I use about a whole 12 oz to 16 oz package.).

  • Combine dressing ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Mix until thoroughly combined using a fork or wire whisk.
  • Add dressing to salad and mix well.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, crisp broccoli for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh broccoli on hand, you can use frozen broccoli that has been thawed and drained.
  • Apples and cranberries add a sweet and tart flavor to the salad. Choose apples that are firm and crisp, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. Dried cranberries can be used in place of fresh cranberries.
  • For a nutty flavor, add some chopped walnuts or pecans to the salad.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. The salad will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Broccoli apple cranberry salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and it is a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. The salad is also easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious side dish, give broccoli apple cranberry salad a try.
