Salad:

  • 8 cups small broccoli florets
  • 1 cup craisins
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup sunflower seeds
  • 6 strips bacon cooked and diced
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion

Instructions

Notes

*Tip: I used precooked bacon to speed up the process, works just fine. If you don’t have craisins or sunflower seeds, try using the premade salad toppers. (I used a dried blueberry and toasted walnut).
