Edit
Broccoli salad is incredibly easy to make. It's healthy, loaded with flavor and topped with a creamy mayonnaise yogurt dressing. Watch the video above to see how quickly it comes together!
INGREDIENTS
Broccoli Salad
1 broccoli head, approx 5 cups of florets
8 slices bacon
1/3 cup red onion, diced
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup goat cheese, crumbled
Broccoli Salad Dressing
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup plain yogurt
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit. Add the bacon slices to a parchment lined baking tray and cook for 15 minutes or until crispy. Remove the bacon from the oven and transfer to a paper towel to dry and cool.
While the bacon is cooking, slice off all the broccoli florets and make sure they're in bite-sized pieces. Add them to a large mixing bowl along with the red onion, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds and goat cheese.
To make the dressing, add the mayonnaise and yogurt to a small bowl and stir together. Add the dressing to the mixing bowl and stir until everything is well combined.
TIPS
Make sure you've sliced the broccoli florets into small, bite-sized pieces. It makes it far easier to eat that way.
If you're wondering what to do with the broccoli stem, spiralize it! Yes, you can totally spiralize a broccoli stem, just as you would a zucchini. It's delicious! And while I don't show you how to spiralize a broccoli stem on my Spiralizer Beginner's Guidevideo, you can still get a little inspiration from the video.
If you've never cooked bacon in the oven before, make sure to read my recipe post and watch my video. Whenever I'm cooking a whole package of bacon it's definitely my favorite method.
I also have recipes for homemade mayonnaise and homemade yogurt, but of course, you can buy these from the store as well.
