Broccoli Crunch Salad

Print Recipe
Broccoli Crunch Salad is a classic salad recipe. Broccoli, dried cranberries, bacon, sunflower seeds (but I add pepitas!) and finely diced red onion is tossed in a simple (like 3 ingredients) dressing. Not only is this salad colorful and crunchy, but delicious too!
