Tart and Tangy Broccoli Salad with Bacon Rosebuds Recipe

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 large head broccoli (1.5 pounds, cut into florets)
• 6 oz. bacon
• 1/2 small red onion, chopped
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries

Preparation

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. Heat a medium sized pot of water to boiling. Add broccoli to water and cook 3 minutes until tender, but still crisp.
3. Meanwhile, make Bacon Rose Buds or just cook strips of bacon in microwave and then cut in to small pieces.
4. In a large bowl add cooled broccoli, red onion, cranberries and bacon. Toss with sour cream mixture to combine. Serve or refrigerate until serving.

Substitutions: light mayo can be used instead of sour cream, and raisins or golden raisins can be used instead of dried cranberries.
