Broccoli Apple Bacon Salad
What a delicious combination with broccoli, onion, apples, cranberries, sunflower seeds and did I mention there is an entire 1/2 pound of bacon!!! All that goodness tossed with a homemade sweet and sour dressing made this a wonderful salad. This was another recipe from a class that I attended.

Add the bacon and the onion.
Add the apples, sunflower
seeds and cranberries.
In a small bowl whisk the dressing
ingredients and pour them
into the broccoli mix.

coated with the dressing.
Cover and refrigerate at least
one hour then serve.

Eating Salad is good for healthy. Currently surfacing dental problems. Do you have any idea what is the basic treatment in dental pain.

The sunflower seeds and dried cranberries are a nice touch. I wouldn’t have thought of them.
That was the chefs recipe and they did taste great. There was so much flavor and it all complimented each other for a fantastic tasting sandwich.
