Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Mushroom and Broccoli Salad with Bacon.
Step 1
Start by cooking the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Let it sizzle and turn occasionally until it’s perfectly browned and crispy, which should take about 10 minutes. Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh broccoli florets, finely chopped red onion, sweet raisins, chopped cremini mushrooms, and crunchy sunflower seed kernels. This colorful mix is not only visually appealing but also packed with flavor and texture!
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the creamy mayonnaise, white sugar, tangy apple cider vinegar, and a sprinkle of salt and ground black pepper. Mix until everything is well blended and smooth. This dressing is the secret to tying all the ingredients together!
Step 4
Pour the creamy dressing over the vibrant vegetable mixture and gently toss everything together until all the ingredients are well coated. Make sure every bite is bursting with flavor!
Step 5
Let the salad sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This salad can be served immediately or chilled in the refrigerator for a refreshing twist. Enjoy your delicious mushroom and broccoli salad with bacon as a side dish or a light meal!
