6 strips bacon
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 heads broccoli, finely chopped
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/3 cup salted sunflower kernels, toasted
1/4 cup dried cranberries
I have made this delish broccoli salad many times using reduced fat Hellmans. Leave the broccoli florets unchopped, add at least a cup of craisins and sunflower seeds, adding the seeds right before serving. I also add cheddar cheese shreds. Always a hit!!
This was very good. I had to keep people away from eating it before I could do a photo of it. Definitely a keeper. As is, no tweaks. I did this recipe as a part of the Western Region's Faceless Frenzy July 2012.

So delicious my 8-year twins wanted it for breakfast the next day! I also added cut red grapes which was very good. A really great recipe.
It was delicious! Hold a little dressing back if you think you will have leftovers.
We loved this! And it's pretty healthy, too. I didn't measure the salad ingredients, but made dressing as written. Will be making this often. (I used frozen broccoli I cooked, drained & chilled) Thanks for posting!
Usually make this salad in the summer time with raisins but was looking for something simple to take to a Christmas gathering. The red craisins with the broccoli looks very festive.
I've made this a couple times for events and I never bring any home. I make it just like the recipe says. It is easy and nice looking too. :)
