May 1, 2016 By Claira

Broccoli, almonds, cranberries, bacon, and apples come together for this perfect side dish. This will be a huge hit at your next potluck.

Broccoli salad is usually made more as a bacon and cream salad with some broccoli in it. I wanted to make a version that would be healthier and still taste just as great.  I am always surprised at how great recipes can taste even when lightened up. You are not missing out on anything in this dish since it is lightened up. 

I am actually not that big of a fan of broccoli and neither is Jason, but we really like this salad. There are just so many different flavors: the tanginess of the cranberries, saltiness of the bacon, crispness of the apple, crunch of the almonds and broccoli and creaminess of the dressing.  The longer that it sits, the better that it tastes, which is always a plus when bringing something to a potluck because you can make it way in advance. Who doesn’t love that?

    MMm this sounds lovely! (so does the cream and bacon salad, but that’s besides the point, lol!). We’re broccoli fans in this house, I’ll have to make this for them.

    What a colourful delicious salad! I bet the bacon makes the dish perfect for lunchtime if you wanted to have this as a main meal.
