Creamy Broccoli Bacon Salad
Ingredients:
*
*5 to 6 cups Broccoli Florets (2 to 3 Broccoli Bunches depending on size Broccoli Bunch) rinsed and drained well
*6 Bacon, cooked crisp, chopped
*1/4 to 1/2 cup Red Onion, diced small
*1/2 cup Sunflower Seeds
*1/2 cup Dried Cranberries or Raisins
Instructions:
Note: If desired you can blanch the broccoli for 30 seconds by placing broccoli florets in boiling water and then, removing, placing in a bowl of ice water to cool quickly. Allow time for draining in a colander or strainer. (This option is for those who like a softer texture to their broccoli but we make it without the blanching.)

Combine the above ingredients in a large bowl and set aside and make the below dressing.
