Prepare the Produce: Wash and chop the broccoli, apples, carrots, and onion. If youโre prepping ahead, toss the apple pieces in a little lemon juice to prevent browning.
Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine broccoli, apples, carrots, red onion, cranberries, and sunflower seeds (and bacon, if using).
Toss Together: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Chill (Optional): Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld. Itโs even better the next day!
๐ง Storage:
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Best served cold or at room temp.
