Best Broccoli Bacon Red Onion Salad Recipes

THE BEST BROCCOLI SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine broccoli florets, diced red onion, cooked bacon and shredded cheddar cheese.
• In a small bowl whisk together mayonnaise, sugar, red wine vinegar, garlic powder and onion powder.
• Pour the dressing on top of the salad mixture and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.

EASY BROCCOLI BACON SALAD

Steps:

• Combine broccoli, onion, bacon, raisins, and sunflower seeds in a bowl.
• Whisk mayonnaise, sugar, and red wine vinegar together in a bowl until dressing is smooth; pour over broccoli mixture and stir to coat.

EASY CREAMY BROCCOLI SALAD WITH BACON

Steps:

• Cook the bacon until crisp (see note below). Chop into small pieces.
• Add onion to a small bowl and cover with warm water. Leave for 10 minutes, then drain. This tones the raw onion flavor a little.
• Meanwhile, separate the broccoli crowns from their thick stem. Remove the woodiest part of the stem - usually 1/2-inch from the bottom - and discard (or save for stock). Chop the remaining portion of the stem into bite-size chunks. (If the stem is hardy, use a vegetable peeler to remove the outer layer and then chop-see our video to watch us do this.). Next, snap the florets from the broccoli crown and pull them apart so that they are bite-size. Rinse broccoli, and then pat or spin dry.
• Drain the red onion and toss with the broccoli, bacon, and cranberries in a large bowl.
• In a separate bowl, stir the mayonnaise, cider vinegar, mustard, 1/4 teaspoon of fine sea salt, and a few grinds of pepper together. Taste for seasoning, then adjust.
• Pour two-thirds of the dressing over the broccoli and onion and mix well. If the salad seems dry, add a little more of the dressing. Let stand at least 15 minutes before serving or keep refrigerated (it should last two to three days, but we have never been able to keep our hands off it for that long).
