  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice

Broccoli Salad

  • 1 cup cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, chopped fine
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup toasted pecans, chopped

  1. In a medium bowl mix together the dressing ingregients (mayo, apple cider vinegar, sugar, lemon, salt, and pepper).
  2. In a large bowl, toss together the broccoli, cheddar cheese, bacon, red onion, dried cranberries, and pecans.
  3. Pour the dressing into the broccoli combination and toss until everything is coated.

You can make this the night before, but leave out the pecans and bacon to toss in right before serving (otherwise they will loose their crunch).

This salad will last in the fridge for about two days.
