Dressing Ingredients
- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ½ teaspoon salt and pepper or more to taste
Salad Ingredients
- 6 cups broccoli pieces chopped into bite-sized pieces
- ⅔ cup bacon bits or crumbled bacon
- ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
- ⅓ cup sunflower seeds
- ¼ cup red onion finely chopped
In a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until well mixed to make the dressing then set it aside.
In a large bowl add the broccoli florets, bacon bits, cheddar cheese, sunflower seeds, and red onion then pour dressing on top and mix well.
Keep in the fridge until serving.
- My top tip: Cut the broccoli into evenly bite sized pieces. I usually aim for smaller than larger so they're easier to eat by the forkful.
- How to store leftovers: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The texture will soften slightly the longer it sits, but the flavor will actually get better!
