Broccoli salad

 

  • 5-6 cups broccoli florets¹ 1 lb, this was about 2 ½ heads of broccoli for me (450g)
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese thicker, not finely shredded (115g)
  • ⅔ cup dried cranberries (85g)
  • ½ cup crumbled bacon² (60g)
  • ½ cup salted sunflower seeds (60g)
  • ⅓ cup red onion diced into small pieces (50g)

Dressing

  • ¾ cup mayo I use olive oil mayo (175g)
  • ¼ cup sour cream³ (70g)
  • 1 ½ Tablespoon white wine vinegar⁴
  • 3 Tablespoons sugar (40g)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Combine broccoli florets, cheddar cheese, dried cranberries, bacon, sunflower seeds, and onion in a large bowl.
  • In a separate, small bowl, whisk together mayo, sour cream, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper until smooth and well-combined.
  • Pour dressing over broccoli combination and toss or stir well.
  • Broccoli salad may be served immediately, but for best flavor refrigerate for at least one hour before serving. Make sure to toss broccoli salad thoroughly again before serving.
    Keep refrigerated if not consuming right away.

Notes

¹I never blanch my broccoli when making broccoli salad. If you wish to, blanch it in boiling water for 60 seconds. Drain and rinse with cold water immediately until broccoli has cooled, and then dry well before using.
²If cooking and crumbling your own bacon, you’ll need about 8 strips. If you prefer to use pre-cooked/crumbled bacon, make sure you buy the kind made with real bacon (it should say it on the label) and not “bacon flavored bits” with imitation flavor.
³Some or all of the sour cream may be substituted with plain Greek yogurt.
⁴White wine vinegar is my preference, but red wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar or champagne vinegar will also work great here.

How to Store Broccoli Salad

Broccoli Salad may be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. If you are making several days in advance, I recommend storing the salad and the dressing separately, then tossing everything together at least an hour before serving.

    1. Hi! Thanks for the message too. I think we answered the question in message, but for anyone else reading, it is a 1 quart jar. I’ve also added that to the text above the recipe for future readers.

  1. A) I could be wrong, but I think those ingredients will fit into a 1 cup jar…a quart-size jar only if you only want it a quarter size full, and maybe you add the water to it, instead of dumping into a bowl to make the soup, as instructed.

    B) The bouillon mix instructs to reserve 2 tsp for the soup mix, but the soup mix doesn’t address adding it.

    C) Sounds like this makes a good soup!

    1. Hi Andi! Thanks for commenting. Let me see if I can address these one by one:
      A) I do believe quart size was an error. All of our dry mixes were intended to fit into a 1 pint mason jar. I’ve fixed that reference and the “half pint” reference in the recipe instructions. We had a bit of a mix up in which size is which when we issued these and I thought I had fixed them all but I guess not! Sorry about that.
      B) It looks to me like the instruction under “SOUP MIX” says to add 2 teaspoons of the bouillon. It says, “Combine cheese powder, buttermilk powder, 2 teaspoons bouillon, cornstarch….”
      C) Thank you!
      Ryan

  2. I am looking for a dry soup recipe to put in mason jars for long term storage. Using my dehydrated broccoli. Thank you.
