Better than Chicken Salad Chick Broccoli Salad
I would like to start by saying that I'm a HUGE fan of Chicken Salad Chick! I'm a sucker for a cold sandwich and chicken salad is the perfect vehicle for so many flavors and textures. And must say that I LOVE their broccoli salad as well. But I know that mine is better and I'll explain below. (HA) But for now... I'm excited to show you my Better than Chicken Salad Chick Broccoli Salad and give you another vegetable dish to put on the table that will be enjoyed by all!
Equipment
- 1 Mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 1 head of broccoli chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup of raisins
- 1/2 cup crumbled crispy bacon or real bacon bits
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
- salt/pepper to taste
Instructions
- First, chop the head of broccoli into smaller pieces and place the raw broccoli florets into a large bowl.
- Second, add the shredded cheese, raisins, bacon, sunflower seeds, mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, and sugar to the bowl with the broccoli and mix well.
- Third, taste your broccoli salad to determine how much salt and pepper you need. (I like to taste first because the sunflower seeds and bacon already have salt.)
- Then, cover the broccoli salad with plastic wrap and let it sit for a couple of hours in the fridge or preferably overnight to develop the most flavor.
- Finally, serve with your favorite dishes!
