Broccoli Salad

Broccoli Salad

Broccoli salad is a side my family goes back to time and time again. Especially in the summertime, broccoli salad seems to be on our menu rotation almost weekly. The creaminess and sweetness along with the crunch you get from the broccoli and crispy bacon makes for a perfect bite! Bring this to any get together or barbecue and you will win over the crowd!

Broccoli salad goes amazing with any meal. I love serving this as a side for smoked meats like ribs and pulled pork and also for steak night. This is such a quick recipe that you can make in no time during those busy summer months before you head out to a get together. A great thing about broccoli salad is that it tastes just as yummy as leftovers the next day, if there are any leftovers!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 head of broccoli chopped

• 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese

• 1 handful of sunflower seeds

• 4 chopped green onions

• 1 handful of dried cranberries

• 5 pieces of crumbled bacon

• 1 cup of mayo

• 1/4 cup of sugar

• 2 TBSP of white vinegar

To make this quick and easy recipe, start by cooking 5 pieces of bacon over medium-low heat in a skillet until crisp. Once crisp, place on a paper towel lined plate to soak up excess bacon grease.
