Tangy Broccoli Salad

Sharing is caring!

This tangy broccoli salad is a must have! It has very few ingredients but is packed with flavor! Perfect for picnics, potlucks and barbecues!

Tangy broccoli salad is one we have over and over and over throughout the spring and summer seasons.  This broccoli salad requires only a handful of ingredients which for the most part I always have on hand.  This is a fairly popular side to bring to potlucks and barbecues where I live, but perhaps is unfamiliar to you.  This may not be an original recipe, but this is how I make mine.  Enjoy!

This is everything you’ll need for this tangy broccoli salad.  Broccoli, grated cheddar, chopped red onion, crumbled bacon, sunflower seeds and an easy to make dressing.  The dressing is made with mayo, cider vinegar and sugar.  Super easy.

Toss all the ingredients except the dressing together in a large mixing bowl.  Whisk together the dressing and pour it over your broccoli salad.  Mix well and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.  Chilling for 4 hours is absolutely necessary.  It allows the dressing to slightly soften the broccoli and the flavors to blend.  Remix before serving!
