Broccoli Salad 🥦🥗
This is was a huge hit at the family BBQ, something different. So here is the recipe I concocted.
2 large heads of broccoli, chopped small
2-3tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 Red onion finely chopped (I’m not big on raw onion)
1 bag shredded carrots
1 small bag dried cranberries
1/2 cup roasted sunflower seed kernels
1/2 bag shredded sharp cheddar
1 1/2 cup mayo
1tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
3tbsp granulated sugar
1 package cooked and crumbled bacon
In a large bowl add the chopped broccoli, carrots, cranberries, cheese, sunflower seed kernels, and onion.
Cook the bacon until crispy and let cool, once cooled crumble into the broccoli mixture.
In a small bowl add the ACV, salt, pepper, sugar and mayo and mix well, then add to the broccoli mixture and toss to coat. Refrigerate until serving. Even some of our picky eaters tried it and actually went back for more! #broccolisaladrecipe #tested #delicious #summersalads
Broccoli salad is not only a delightful addition to any BBQ but also a nutritious choice packed with vitamins and minerals. Broccoli is known for its high vitamin C, K, and fiber content, making it a healthful complement to summer meals. Furthermore, adding ingredients like apple cider vinegar and cranberries introduces a zesty flavor profile and antioxidants, enhancing both taste and health benefits. For those looking for variations, consider swapping bacon for chickpeas for a vegetarian option or adding grilled chicken for added protein. This salad can also be a great meal prep item; simply store it in an airtight container for a fresh, crunchy lunch throughout the week. Enjoy your cooking and the compliments that are sure to follow! Remember, when preparing Broccoli Salad, you can customize it further with additions like feta cheese, nuts, or even a touch of honey for sweetness. The versatility of this dish means it can cater to various dietary preferences while remaining delicious and satisfying. Serve it cold for a refreshing side dish that's perfect for summer days!
