Print Recipe

A copycat broccoli crunch salad with broccoli florets, slaw, cranberries, bacon, and sunflower seeds tossed in a creamy, tangy dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • 4 cups broccoli florets, broken into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 (12 ounce) bag broccoli slaw mix
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion (optional)
  • 1 cup chopped cooked bacon

Instructions

  1. Combine mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, onion powder, pepper, and salt in a bowl. Whisk together until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine broccoli slaw mix, broccoli florets, red onion, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, and bacon.
  3. Pour dressing over salad and toss until well coated.
  4. Chill until ready to serve.

Notes

  • For best flavor, chill the salad for at least 1 hour before serving.
  • Use pepitas or almonds in place of sunflower seeds for variety.
  • Substitute pre-cooked bacon or bacon bits to save time.
  • Red onion is optional; finely chopped shallots work too.
