To make this recipe bigger, all you have to add is another head of broccoli and measure the remaining ingredients generously. It all works out.

  • 1 head fresh broccoli, cut into small flowerets
  • ½ medium red onion, coarsely chopped
  • 1 pound bacon, cooked, drained, and crumbled
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup whole cashews

Dressing:

  • 1 cup mayo
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 Tbsp white vinegar

In large bowl, stir together broccoli flowerets, red onion, crumbled bacon, and cranberries.

In small bowl, mix mayo, sugar, and vinegar. Refrigerate both bowls at least 1 hour, up to overnight.

About an hour before serving time, pour dressing over broccoli mixture and stir. Just before serving, sprinkle cashews on top.

Serves 4-6.
