Crunchy Broccoli Salad
From Healthy Cooking (April/May 2010), page 43.
Prep/Total Time: 20 min
Yield: 10 servings
8 cups fresh broccoli florets
3 green onions, thinly sliced
3/4 cup dried cranberries
3 Tbs. canola oil
3 Tbs. seasoned rice vinegar
2 Tbs. sugar
1/4 cup sunflower kernels
3 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
In a large bowl, combine broccoli, onions, and cranberries. In a small bowl, combine oil, vinegar, and sugar; drizzle over broccoli and toss to coat. Chill until serving.
Sprinkle with sunflower seeds and bacon.
Notes:
- The original recipe calls for an entire bunch of green onions, which seemed a bit much to me. It also called for 1/2 cup cranberries, but I wanted more. The nutrition facts listed below are for the original recipe.
- I didn't have seasoned rice vinegar, so I used regular. I also decided to add about 1/8 tsp. ground ginger to the dressing and used already cooked and crumbled real bacon from a little bag that I bought at the store. Cheating, I know.
