Delicious Broccoli Salad made with bacon, sunflower seeds, red onion, and goat cheese mixed with a creamy Greek yogurt-mayo sauce. So good!

Ingredients

  • 8 slices center cut bacon
  • 1 large head broccoli florets , sliced into bite-sized pieces
  • ⅓ cup diced red onion
  • ½ cup dried unsweetened cranberries
  • ½ cup shelled raw sunflower seeds
  • ¼ cup crumbled goat cheese
  • ½ cup mayonnaise, I used Hellman's Light
  • ¼ cup plain fat free Greek yogurt, dairy-or dairy-free

Directions

  1. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy and browned, about 4 minutes on each side.
  2. If you prefer to bake it, bake on a sheet pan in a preheated 400°F oven to (200°C) 15 to 20 minutes, until crispy
  3. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool. Chop or crumble.
  4. While the bacon is cooking, in a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, red onion, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, and goat cheese.
  5. In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and yogurt.
