Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Bacon and Broccoli Salad.
Step 1
Begin by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat and adding the bacon.
Step 2
Cook it, turning occasionally, until it reaches a perfect golden brown, which should take about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Once the bacon is crispy, transfer it to paper towels to drain excess grease and let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes before crumbling it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 4
In a spacious bowl, mix together the crumbled bacon, chopped broccoli, sunflower seeds, and diced red onion, creating a colorful medley.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sugar, and white vinegar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Drizzle this delightful dressing over the broccoli mixture and toss everything gently until every ingredient is well-coated.
Step 7
For the best flavor experience, cover the salad and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before serving, allowing the ingredients to harmonize beautifully.
Step 8
Enjoy this vibrant salad as a delicious side dish or a satisfying main course.
