This is a perennial favorite at all family gatherings. I like to make this up ahead of time and put all the ingredients in a gallon ziploc bag. This makes it really easy to toss. Right before serving, I put in the bowl (looks very nice in a glass bowl, since it is so colorful) and then pour the dressing over and toss.
Ingredients:
1 pound fresh broccoli, cut into florets
1/2 small red onion, chopped
1 C (4 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese
1.5 oz real bacon bits
2-3 oz dried cranberries or cherries
1/4 C dried sunflower seeds
1/2 C sugar
1 C mayonnaise
2 T apple cider vinegar
In a small shaker (I love to use my Tupperware Quick Shake Container), combine sugar, mayonnaise and apple cider vinegar; mix until the sugar dissolves and mixture is smooth. Refrigerate until time to serve. I find that it is best to refrigerate at least 1 hour.
Place broccoli, red onion, cheese, bacon, cherries and sunflower seeds in a salad bowl (or gallon ziploc bag). Refrigerate.
Just before serving pour enough dressing over salad to coat and toss; be sure to shake the dressing first to ensure that it remains mixed. I generally have about 1/4 c dressing left.
