Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup dried cranberries (craisins)
4 cups broccoli florets (chopped bite size pieces)
1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded )
1/2 large purple onion (chopped)
1/3 cup sunflower seeds (roasted )
1 cup mayo
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (you can also use white wine vinegar or rice vinegar)
1/4 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Combine the 1 cup of dried cranberries with 2 cups of hot water (I just use the hot water from my sink). Let the cranberries sit for 10 minutes so they begin to plump back up. Drain and add to a large bowl.
  • Add the broccoli, cheese, onion and sunflower seeds to the large bowl and toss to combine.

DELI-STYLE FRESH BROCCOLI SALAD

Delicious variation of this favorite deli salad. Honey is absorbed more slowly than cane sugar, so this may be better tolerated by those who are more sensitive to 'sugar highs.' Also, for those who find white or red onions just too strong of a flavor, I've used green onion for a milder yet still 'onion-y' layer.
