Deli-style broccoli salad made with all your favorites like bacon, onion, cranberries, and more, plus a secret tip!
INGREDIENTS
8 cups small broccoli pieces
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons white vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
salt and pepper to taste (I used 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper)
1/2 cup salted sunflower seeds
3/4 cup dried sweetened cranberries
1/3 cup finely chopped sweet or red onion
1/2 cup crumbled bacon (about 6 pieces cooked)
INSTRUCTIONS
In a pot of boiling water, blanch the broccoli for one minute. Remove the broccoli from the hot water and put it straight into an ice bath to stop the cooking. When the broccoli has cooled down, remove it from the ice water bath and place it in a colander. Let the broccoli drain while you prepare the rest of the salad.
To make the dressing, add the mayo, sour cream, vinegar, sugar, and salt and pepper to a small bowl. Stir well to combine.
When the broccoli is well drained and no longer wet, add the broccoli to a large bowl. Add the dressing, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, onion, and bacon. Stir to combine and adjust the salt and pepper to taste.
Serve right away.
