Hey, foodie friends! I’m so excited to share a family favorite of ours that has become our go-to summer sensation! It’s a vibrant Broccoli Salad, loaded with the freshest of broccoli, tangy dried cranberries, crunchy sunflower seeds, and irresistible bacon bits. All this goodness is swirled in a delightfully creamy homemade dressing.
One of the best things about this salad? It’s a make-ahead marvel! Whip it up, let the flavors mingle in the fridge, and voila – you’re the star of the potluck or BBQ party! Trust me; everyone will be asking you for the recipe.
We’re a family of veggie lovers, and this Broccoli Salad has a special place in our hearts (and stomachs!). The best part? It’s SO simple to make, and it’s always a runaway hit. I promise you, there won’t be any leftovers!
Here’s what you’ll need:
2 12-ounce bags of raw broccoli
1/2 cup of red onion, finely chopped
1 cup of mild shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup of cooked bacon, chopped (bacon bites work too!)
1 cup of creamy coleslaw dressing (I love Kraft’s version)
And now, the magic:
Simply combine all the ingredients in a large bowl.
Mix it all up until everything is coated in that delicious dressing.
Pop it in the fridge for a couple of hours to let the flavors truly meld together.
And that’s it! Feel free to adjust the recipe to your liking; more cheese, more dressing, it’s your call.
This beautiful bowl serves 4-6. Enjoy, and don’t forget to share your Broccoli Salad pics!
