Ingredients
  

Salad Ingredients
  • 7 cups broccoli cut into bite-sized 1-inch florets Fresh is best; look for bright green florets.
  • 8 slices bacon cooked until crispy and crumbled Use high-quality bacon for the crispiest results.
  • 1/2 cup raisins Golden or regular raisins work; consider dried cranberries for a different flavor.
  • 1/4 cup red onions, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup sunflower kernels
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons Kraft coleslaw dressing Highly recommended for its creamy, tangy flavor.
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool, then crumble.
  2. Chop the red onions and prepare the broccoli florets, raisins, sunflower kernels, and shredded carrots.
Mixing
  1. In a large bowl, combine the broccoli, crumbled bacon, raisins, onions, sunflower kernels, and carrots.
  2. Pour the Kraft coleslaw dressing over the mixture and gently stir to coat.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Serving
  1. Before serving, stir the salad to redistribute the dressing.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. For extra crunch, add sunflower kernels just before serving.
