This is a delightful, cool, and crisp salad with healthy fruits, vegetables, and nuts that is a great accompaniment to any entree. It’s a real favorite with anyone who tries it. This is a fun recipe as you can get creative with it. I have even made it with out the sunflower seeds, and it was still delicious.
Ingredients
Dressing
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
Salad
- 2 crowns broccoli, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 cup seedless red grapes, halved
- ¾ cup chopped walnuts
- ¼ red onion, finely chopped
- ¼ cup sunflower seed kernels
- ½ cup sweetened dried cranberries (such as Craisins®)
- ¼ cup bacon bits
Directions
Step 1
Whisk mayonnaise, cider vinegar, and sugar together in a small bowl until sugar dissolves and the dressing is smooth.
Step 2
Toss broccoli, grapes, walnuts, red onion, sunflower seeds, cranberries, and bacon bits together in a large bowl. Drizzle dressing over the salad and gently fold so ingredients are evenly coated.
Step 3
Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate 3 to 4 hours. Stir before serving.
Cook’s Notes:
You can use gold or regular raisins instead of Craisins(R).
