A vibrant and textural salad that balances the earthy crunch of broccoli with the smoky saltiness of bacon. A lighter take on a classic, this recipe uses a tangy vinaigrette to cut through the richness, making it a perfect side for barbecues, picnics, or a delightful addition to any meal.

Follow The Directions

01

Step
10 mins

In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp and golden brown. (Approximately 8-10 minutes).

02

Step
5 mins

Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, crumble or tear into bite-sized pieces.

03

Step
2 mins

In a large bowl, combine the broccoli florets, crumbled bacon, sunflower seeds, and green onions.

04

Step
3 mins

In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and sugar until smooth and well combined.

05

Step

Just before serving, pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and toss gently to coat evenly. Serve immediately to maintain the bacon's crispness.

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a 1/4 cup of dried cranberries or raisins.
To make this salad ahead of time, prepare all the components separately and store them in airtight containers. Combine just before serving.
If you prefer a sweeter salad, add an extra tablespoon or two of sugar to the dressing.
