Every potluck needs the Best Broccoli Salad recipe on the table. With broccoli, cheddar cheese, red onion, and bacon topped with a sweet and tangy dressing, it’s the perfect easy summer side dish!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound broccoli florets, cut bite size
  • ⅓ cup red onion, cut in strips
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • ½ cup raisins
  • ⅓ cup sunflower seeds (no shells)
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. In a pot of boiling water, drop broccoli and cook for about 1 minute. Remove immediately and rinse with cold water. Place in a large bowl.
  2. Add onion, cheese, bacon, raisins, and sunflower seeds to broccoli.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayo, vinegar and sugar. Pour over salad right before serving.

Notes

  • Dressing: I prefer to pour it over the salad and allow the salad to "soften" for about 4 hours. You decide how you prefer it.
