Easy Healthy Broccoli Salad with tangy, creamy Greek yogurt dressing. Crunchy broccoli, crispy bacon, shredded cheddar, this perfect picnic side dish is healthier and flavorful!
Broccoli crowns
Bacon slices
Greek yogurt
Mayo
Dijon mustard
Apple cider vinegar
Salt
Ground black pepper
Red onion
Sharp cheddar cheese
Cranberries
Sunflower seeds
Preheat oven to 400°F and line rimmed baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper. Add bacon strips and bake for 20 minutes or until crispy. After transfer bacon on double folded paper towel to drain.
Crumble or chop bacon, add to the salad bowl, stir and let broccoli salad sit. While you can serve broccoli salad right away, I prefer to let flavors "marry each other" in the fridge for about 30 minutes – 2 hours.
