You don’t want to miss trying this delicious salad!
It pairs perfectly as a side to any meal or enjoy as a meal on its own
INGREDIENTS:
4 slices thick-cut bacon
1/4 of a medium onion, finely chopped
1 head broccoli
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
DIRECTIONS
Cook the bacon until crisp. Chop into small pieces.
Add onion to a small bowl and cover with warm water. Leave for 10 minutes, then drain. This tones the raw onion flavor a little.
Meanwhile, separate the broccoli crowns from their thick stem. Chop the remaining portion of the stem into bite-size chunks. Next, snap the florets from the broccoli crown and pull them apart so that they are bite-size. Rinse broccoli, and then pat or spin dry.
Drain the red onion and toss with the broccoli, bacon, and cranberries in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, stir the mayonnaise, cider vinegar, mustard, 1/4 teaspoon of fine sea salt, and a few grinds of pepper together. Taste for seasoning, then adjust.
Pour two-thirds of the dressing over the broccoli and onion and mix well. If the salad seems dry, add a little more of the dressing. Let stand at least 15 minutes before serving or keep refrigerated.
