2019 Dent Family Reunion Broccoli Salad

Our recent family reunion was amazing ... tons of great food, great activities like kayaking, hiking, swimming, etc. I was asked for my broccoli salad recipe, so for those who requested the recipe, here you go!

​For the Dressing:

• 3/4 cup mayonnaise (to make it a bit healthier I use ½ plain Greek yogurt, but didn't at the reunion)
  
• 1/4 cup of sugar or Stevia (I use Stevia)
  
• 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  

For the Salad:

• 1 lb fresh broccoli (chopped to about 4.5 cups)
  
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  
• 1/2 cup raw sunflower seed kernels
  
• 1/2 cup red onion (diced)
  
• 1/2 cup cooked bacon (crumbled)
  

Instructions:

1. Whisk together your mayo, sugar or Stevia, and vinegar. Set aside.
   
2. Mix together your broccoli, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, red onion, and bacon.
   
3. Pour dressing over salad and mix together until fully coated.
   
4. Place in refrigerator for an hour before serving.
   
5. Serves 4-6.
