I love this salad! The one I make uses sunflower seeds.

Another SUPER FAST broccoli salad is: blanched broccoli florets, grape or cherry tomatoes and Italian dressing. (We like Wish Bone the best.)

Great way to use the “extra” bits of veggies from the salad night.

Cool coincidence – I just bought broccoli yesterday with intentions of making broccoli salad!

If I left out the bacon, there would be mutiny. I think my guys would prefer a 1:1 bacon to broccoli ratio, but that ain’t gonna happen. Unless I decide to make it the main course and be done with it. It will vanish.

Our preferred version uses dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, some shredded carrots and red onions. For dressing, I just use my Marzetti’s slaw dressing copycat that I came up with a few years ago, but I now use my homemade mayo as the starting point.

Oh, and I run the stalks thru the food processor to shred them – the recipe I followed the first time was on the back of a bag of “broccoli slaw” that I got for FREE. That stuff is way expensive! So I just shred it myself. If I try to make it with just the florets and no shredded broccoli, DH wants to know why I changed it. He likes some things to just stay the same.
