SUPER SALAD SATURDAY

I'm constantly looking for recipes that make broccoli more appetizing for "The Hubby". Most of the time we eat it cooked, but once in awhile a broccoli salad comes along that intrigues me. This one has other ingredients that add a touch of "sweet" to the mix.

CRUNCHY BROCCOLI SALAD

8 cups fresh broccoli florets (I like them chopped very small)

1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced

1/2 c. dried cranberries

3 tbsp. canola oil

3 tbsp. seasoned rice vinegar (My vinegar did not have seasoning)

2 tbsp. sugar

1/4 c. sunflower kernels

3 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled (I bought the real bacon in a bag already cut up)

In a large bowl, combine broccoli, onions and cranberries. In a small bowl, whisk the oil, vinegar and sugar; drizzle over broccoli and toss to coat. Chill until serving. Sprinkle with sunflower kernels and bacon.
