This Broccoli Salad recipe is a twist on a holiday classic! Almond Broccoli Cranberry Salad has so much flavor because it's filled with best ingredients. This delicious charred broccoli salad with bacon is sure to be your favorite Thanksgiving or Christmas side dish!

INGREDIENTS

• 4 cups diced broccoli charred
• ¼ cup red onion minced
• 1/3 cup Real Mayonnaise
• 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ½ cup Honey Roasted Sliced Almonds
• ½ cup dried cranberries
• 4 slices bacon cooked crisp and crumbled

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to broil.
2. Spread the diced broccoli over a foil-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle the broccoli with oil then place it under the oven broiler until it is slightly charred. Watch closely – it will burn quickly. Remove from oven.
3. Place all ingredients EXCEPT bacon in a medium serving dish/bowl. Mix well and refrigerate 1-2 hours or until ready to serve.
4. Add crisped bacon pieces right before serving.
5. Enjoy!
6. TIP: If you prefer a milder onion, you can soak in cold water for 15 minutes before tossing it in. It will take the edge off! I love a strong onion though, so no soaking for me!
