Broccoli Crunch Salad

September 07, 2017 1 min read

Broccoli Crunch Salad

Mason jar salads have been a full-blown craze for several years now.  I have a rotation of several favorites that I love but every once in awhile I get tired of the ol' standbys and decided it was time to add new talent to the line-up.  You know that feeling when you're craving something but you don't know what?  That's how I was feeling.  Stuck.  In need of inspiration.

Until recently when I was at a summer picnic and someone brought a broccoli salad that was to die for.  I couldn't quite pinpoint what it was about it that was so crave-worthy until I realized it's "all of the above".  I think all of us have likely experienced a dish like this at one point or another.  You know... the rare gem of a recipe that can unilaterally satisfy just about any kind of craving. This is one of those recipes.  Sweet, tangy, crunchy, creamy, savory...  a real feast for the senses.

If you're tired of the same old mason jar salad recipes, give this one a go. The broccoli and walnuts do a fine job of maintaining their crunch for several days but if you plan to assemble the ingredients in the jar more than 3 days out you might want to wait before shaking them up to combine.

Ingredients (per jar/serving)

1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tsp raw honey
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/8 tsp black pepper
1.5 cups broccoli
2 tbsp diced red onion
2 tbsp chopped walnuts
2 tbsp dried cranberries
1 tbsp crumbled bacon

Instructions

Add all ingredients to a 16oz jar.  Shake to combine before serving.

We all like the idea of making our families healthy meals, saving money and doing our part to cut down on waste.

But we also like the idea of getting a good night’s sleep, not having a huge mess to clean up in the kitchen after dinner and — just maybe — having time to watch a bit of Netflix or read a book.
