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.
Ingredients
In a large bowl add the broccoli.
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.
Toss until everything is
coated with the dressing.
Cover and refrigerate at least
one hour then serve.
