🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

1

Chop 1/4 medium red onion small and add it to cold water for 5 to 10 minutes to deflame.

2

Rinse the onions after soaking to keep them crunchy without overpowering the salad.

3

Chop 1 pound of broccoli into bite-sized pieces, using both florets and stems.

4

Remove the bottom inch from each broccoli stem and peel away the tough outer layer with a vegetable peeler.

5

In a bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, 4 slices of cooked bacon, 1/2 cup of dried cranberries, and the deflamed onions.

6

In a separate bowl, stir together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper to make the dressing.

7

Pour about 3/4 of the dressing over the salad and toss well, adding more dressing if it seems dry.
