Cranberry Almond Broccoli Salad

Cranberry Almond Broccoli Salad is a lightened up version of the classic! Broccoli, crumbled bacon, almonds, red onion, and dried cranberries in a creamy, tangy dressing. Perfect side dish for a summer party or a holiday dinner!

For this fun twist on the classic broccoli salad, I did a mixture of mayo and Greek yogurt to lighten it up. And then it’s also tossed with diced red onion, crumbled bacon, slivered almonds, and dried cranberries.

This is one of those recipes that gets better as it sits in the fridge so prep it a few hours ahead to make your life a little easier. I usually wait to add the almonds until I’m ready to serve it, though, so they stay nice and crunchy.

Ingredients

• Mayo
• Greek yogurt – the Greek yogurt lightens up the traditional broccoli salad dressing without taking away any flavor or creaminess.
• Apple cider vinegar
• Sugar
• Red onion
• Broccoli
• Slivered almonds
• Dried cranberries – you could also use dried cherries!
• Bacon

How To Make Cranberry Almond Broccoli Salad

• Make dressing. Whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper.
• Combine. Add remaining ingredients and toss together.
• Chill. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour.

How Long Is It Good For?

Broccoli salad is good for up to 3 days. Make sure to store it in an airtight container in the fridge.

Keep in mind that all the ingredients will soften the longer they sit in the fridge.
