Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients 

  • 6 slices bacon about 6 ounces
  • 1 pound broccoli about 4 cups of florets and matchsticks
  • cup red onion finely chopped
  • ½ cup dried cranberries

Dressing Ingredients

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt adjust to taste

Instructions

  • Cook the bacon however you like and transfer it to a paper towel to absorb some oil while it cools. (I recommend cooking bacon in the oven.) While the bacon is cooking, combine the broccoli, red onion, and cranberries in a mixing bowl.
  • In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, stir together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, sugar, and mustard. Taste and add salt only if needed.
  • Chop the bacon and add it to the bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to coat.
  • Refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving to allow the flavors to mingle. This will keep nicely for 2 days. Stir before serving.
