How to Make Broccoli Salad
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Today I'm showing you how to make the BEST Broccoli Salad! This is always a huge hit anywhere I take it!!
Print the recipe here: sugarspunrun.com/broccoli-salad/
Ingredients
5-6 cups broccoli florets¹ 1 lb, this was about 2 1/2 heads of broccoli for me (450g)
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese thicker, not finely shredded (115g)
2/3 cup dried cranberries (85g)
1/2 cup crumbled bacon² (60g)
1/2 cup salted sunflower seeds (60g)
1/3 cup red onion diced into small pieces (50g)
Dressing
3/4 cup mayo I use olive oil mayo (175g)
1/4 cup sour cream³ (70g)
1 1/2 Tablespoon white wine vinegar⁴
3 Tablespoons sugar (40g)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:13 Combine broccoli florets, cheddar cheese, dried cranberries, bacon, sunflower seeds, and onion in a large bowl.
01:36 In a separate, small bowl, whisk together mayo, sour cream, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper until smooth and well-combined.
02:20 Pour dressing over broccoli combination and toss or stir well.
Broccoli salad may be served immediately, but for best flavor refrigerate for at least one hour before serving. Make sure to toss broccoli salad thoroughly again before serving.
Keep refrigerated if not consuming right away.
Notes
¹I never blanch my broccoli when making broccoli salad. If you wish to, blanch it in boiling water for 60 seconds. Drain and rinse with cold water immediately until broccoli has cooled, and then dry well before using.
²If cooking and crumbling your own bacon, you'll need about 8 strips. If you prefer to use pre-cooked/crumbled bacon, make sure you buy the kind made with real bacon (it should say it on the label) and not "bacon flavored bits" with imitation flavor.
³Some or all of the sour cream may be substituted with plain Greek yogurt.
⁴White wine vinegar is my preference, but red wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar or champagne vinegar will also work great here.
How to Store Broccoli Salad
Broccoli Salad may be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. If you are making several days in advance, I recommend storing the salad and the dressing separately, then tossing everything together at least an hour before serving.

I'm laughing at myself because after binge watching and bookmarking tons of your cake videos the first recipe I actually made from your channel is broccoli salad, but man was it worth it. I thought the bacon would be my favorite part, but the sunflower seeds really take it up a notch. Thanks for a winning summer potluck dish!

Same here! “Bragg’s Apple-cider Vinegar” with “the mother” ingredient, is the Best (IMO). It’s flavor is so much more robust in this recipe. I also cut my cheese in smaller bite sized chunks, instead of using a shredded.
So delicious, thank you. Same recipe that I have, love it.
Yum! This looks so good!
I just saw your recipe for the first time minutes ago and i’m going to make it for supper tonight!I love that you didn’t waste time and you didn’t rattle on as so many people do!Thank you so much!

I made this salad for today's 4th celebration. I had to adjust your recipe a little. Because I added carrots and rasins, which are naturally sweet, I cut back on the sugar. And I added 1TS of apple cider vinegar to give it some vest. I have quite afew seniors, with dentures, so I used my food processor on the carrots, broccoli, walnuts and purple onions. The salad was something different from our normal 4th meal. But a HIT. Only problem....I didn't make enough. Thanks for the recipe.💝

The thing I like about making this salad is that you can customize it and mix whatever you want with it. I add peas to it but less onion. I mixed blueberry yogurt with the mayo. I also add raisins and chopped walnuts instead of sunflower seeds.

That's yummy 😊 I love to experiment with broccoli in salads. I have one recipe on my channel with a spicy sauce and steamed broccoli (it makes it creamy👌) and it's also vegeterian!
Tried this recipe (had never made broccoli salad before). It was very good, but I do think it would have been better without the sour cream. I believe that is what threw the flavor 'off' for my taste. Definitely a keeper, but with 1 full cup of mayo and no sour cream. Thank you for this instruction video.

Yes you can but it's not as good. It's not as crunchy but still delicious.
I just made this. Wow I am going to be hard pressed to eat all this myself. And don't ya know, no matter how good the instruction, you can't discount my ability to do something weird. I'm pouring the dressing into the salad and I realize I have the bowl setting too far back under the upper cabinets. SO what do I do. Knock the spatula out of my hand and splatter dressing all over the brand new jeans I am wearing.... Sigh. It's in the refrigerator, I'm sure it will be good. I'll try some as soon as I get back.
