Ingredients

Units Scale

8 pieces of cooked crispy bacon

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 420 degrees F. Add bacon to a foil-lined pan and bake for 20 minutes (or until crisp). Once cooked, place on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up excess grease, then cut into tiny pieces.
Meanwhile, cut broccoli florets into smaller bite-size pieces and dice the red onion.
Add broccoli, red onion, cranberries, sunflower seeds, and bacon to a large serving bowl.
To make the dressing, add the honey, mayonnaise, and 2 Tablespoons of red wine vinegar to a smaller bowl and whisk to combine. The honey will dissolve, and the dressing should be smooth and creamy.
Taste the dressing. For a more robust flavor, add the remaining 1 Tbsp of vinegar.
Add the dressing to the broccoli mixture and mix to combine. Enjoy!

Notes

You can also use Agave Syrup or Maple Syrup instead of Honey
Pumpkin Seeds can also be substituted for Sunflower Seeds
Omit the bacon for a Vegan broccoli salad
