Cranberry Broccoli Bacon Salad
Fresh broccoli with dried cranberries, bacon, and red onion tossed in a tangy sweet dressing makes for a crave-able Cranberry Broccoli Bacon Salad.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 6 slices bacon about 6 ounces
- 1 pound broccoli about 4 cups of florets and matchsticks
- ⅓ 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.
