Ingredients

For the Dressing:

  • 1/2 c mayonnaise (I use Duke's)
  • 16 oz sour cream
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp ground mustard
  • 1/4 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika

For the Salad:

  • 3 heads fresh broccoli medium to large
  • 1 large honeycrisp apple cored and diced (or 1 1/2 c raisins (for XO))
  • 4 oz bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 8 oz cheddar cheese diced

Instructions

For the Dressing:

  • In a small mixing bowl, mix the dressing ingredients and stir until well combined. Set aside.

For the Salad:

  • Remove the leaves from the broccoli heads, and finely dice the remaining broccoli (I use the stems as well). Place in a large mixing bowl.
  • Make sure the cheddar is diced into small bite sized chunks, then add to the bowl with the broccoli.
  • Mix in the apple (or raisins, if you want a crossover) and cooked, crumbled bacon.
  • Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture in the larger bowl.
  • It will seem like an extreme amount of dressing at first, but stir until everything is well incorporated and it won't seem like quite so much.
  • Enjoy!
    (If you want a drier broccoli salad, refrigerate overnight and enjoy the next day.)
