Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Combine all salad ingredients in a large mixing bowl. This includes the blanched broccoli, cooked bacon, cranberries, red onion, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds.
Make the dressing: combine all dressing ingredients in a small mixing bowl.
Pour the dressing over the salad and combine using tongs, a spatula or large spoon.
Serve immediately, or cover and store in the fridge.

Notes

*You do not have to blanch the broccoli (can serve it raw) but I prefer it blanched for this recipe. To blanch broccoli, first bring a large pot of water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice and water, enough to cover the cooked broccoli. Trim the broccoli, removing most of the stems and cutting them into small bite-sized pieces. Place the broccoli in the boiling water for about 1 minute. Drain the water, then transfer the broccoli to an ice bath for about 1 minute. Dry the broccoli on a dish towel or paper towels, removing as much of the water as possible.
