Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sweet and Tangy Broccoli Salad Delight.
Step 1
Start by cooking the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Keep an eye on it and turn occasionally until it’s beautifully browned and crispy, which should take about 10 minutes. Once done, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain off the excess grease, then crumble it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh broccoli florets, chopped red onion, sweet raisins, and the crumbled bacon. This colorful mix is not only visually appealing but also packed with flavor and texture!
Step 3
Now, let’s whip up the dressing. In a separate bowl, mix together the creamy mayonnaise, white sugar, and tangy distilled vinegar until well combined. This dressing is what brings everything together, adding that delightful sweet and tangy flavor that makes this salad irresistible.
Step 4
Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and gently toss everything together until the veggies are well coated. Don’t forget to season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. This is where you can adjust the flavors to your liking!
Step 5
Once everything is mixed, let the salad sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This salad can be served immediately, but it’s even better if you let it chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving. It’s a perfect side dish for barbecues, potlucks, or just a refreshing addition to your dinner table.
